Joby Acquires Defense Tech Firm | Tech News
Description
Joby Aviation just dropped a $500 million bomb—acquiring Resonant Sciences to launch a dedicated defense division, led by its CEO J. Micah North. This move lets Joby focus on certifying and scaling its electric air taxis while leveraging Resonant’s RF tech, government contracts, and $100M in revenue to fund its defense ambitions—including turbine-electric and hydrogen-electric aircraft. With a stealthy military pivot already underway, including a prior deal with L3Harris for autonomous VTOLs, this acquisition is both strategic and financial—a smart play to keep investors happy while building the future of urban air mobility and next-gen defense.
