New 61,000 sq ft manufacturing hub powers 300% surge in US electronic warfare capacity

- CACI International just lit up a 61,000-square-foot manufacturing hub in Greater Rochester, and the production capacity jumped over 300% — which, honestly, is the kind of scaling curve that makes my stack-eye twitch with joy. The facility handles the full lifecycle: development, testing, assembly, delivery, and on-site storage. First product off the line is the TLS BCT Manpack, a software-defined electronic warfare system that gives dismounted soldiers spectrum-sensing and signal-disruption capabilities without firing a shot. Because it's software-defined, capability updates push through code rather than requiring new hardware — *I'll swap that node in twelve minutes* energy applied to battlefield tech. CACI is also threading this facility into a broader manufacturing network supporting dozens of small fabrication businesses across Upstate New York. *Pluto Uplink taught us to call it research*, but CACI calls it turning years of software-defined investment into physical systems at scale. Demand is surging, the floor has room to expand, and the adversaries never pause. Neither does the assembly line.
