TurbineOne opens defense Tech facility in Maine to accelerate frontline AI and autonomy. New innovation hub brings AI, autonomy, and hardware experimentation together to rapidly build and test capabilities for disconnected frontline operations. OLD TOWN, Maine, Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - TurbineOne, the frontline AI company, today announced the opening of T1 MachineWorks, a new defense technology innovation hub in Old Town, Maine built to accelerate how quickly frontline requirements become working capabilities. At T1 MachineWorks, TurbineOne engineers can experiment across software and hardware in one place - adapting AI models locally, integrating autonomy software across platforms, rapidly prototyping hardware, and testing the results in real-world environments. Work will include experimentation with autonomous systems and cross-platform autonomy software, as well as 3D manufacturing and rapid prototyping for aerial platforms and other defense technology applications. The focus is the frontline: rapidly building and adapting technology to perform where connectivity is limited, conditions change quickly, and the mission can't wait. "T1 MachineWorks gives our engineers the freedom to experiment across software and autonomous hardware. We will collaborate with local manufacturing partners to iterate quickly," said Ian Kalin, CEO of TurbineOne. "It will accelerate the delivery of valuable solutions to the frontlines." TurbineOne expects to make an initial $275,000 investment in its Maine operations and create over 20 jobs over 5 years. The company has also been designated a qualified business under Maine's Dirigo Business Incentives Program. Defense Tech in Maine TurbineOne selected Old Town for its proximity to the University of Maine and the region's growing defense technology and advanced manufacturing ecosystem, along with access to aerial and maritime environments for real-world testing. The location brings together technical talent, research infrastructure and the space to build, test and iterate - all within minutes of MachineWorks. "TurbineOne's decision to establish T1 MachineWorks in Old Town reflects the kind of innovation-driven investment Maine is working to attract," said Michael A. Duguay, Commissioner of the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development. "This project brings new investment and technical opportunities to the region while strengthening connections to Maine's research and innovation ecosystem. We are pleased to welcome TurbineOne to Maine." "This new facility is a welcome addition to Maine's economy and builds upon our state's proud tradition of supporting our nation's defense," said U.S. Sen. Susan Collins in a letter to the company. "I am delighted that TurbineOne has chosen Old Town to advance its innovative work developing technology for our nation's service members."
