Aevex is a military technology contractor that designs and manufactures unmanned aerial and surface vehicles, as well as provides AI-enabled intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance services.

Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC ("Madison"), is a private equity firm that acquired a majority stake in Aevex in 2020, and by the April 2026 IPO, owned 100% of Aevex's common stock.
