Firestorm Labs, the expeditionary manufacturing startup reinventing point-of-need production, has raised $47 million in Series A funding. The round was led by NEA, with participation from Lockheed Martin Ventures, Decisive Point, Booz Allen Ventures, Washington Harbour Partners LP, and others. The total includes $12 million in venture debt from J.P. Morgan.

Firestorm’s field-deployable "xCell" factory enables warfighters to 3D print mission-adaptable drones (ISR, EW, or strike) directly at the front lines, eliminating the need for long logistics chains or centralized resupply.

Key applications:

- Modular UAS production in contested environments

- ISR, EW, and kinetic payload flexibility

- On-demand reconfiguration for shifting missions

- Autonomous operation without GPS or communications

Firestorm’s platform integrates hardware, tactical software, and mission planning into a single plug-and-play system that allows even non-technical personnel to launch drone build cycles in the field.

"We're thrilled about this milestone, because it empowers Firestorm to deliver critical, battlefield-ready solutions faster and at scale," said CEO Dan Magy 🏴‍☠️
