Auria, a national security and aerospace defense company, will establish its East Coast headquarters in Fairfax County, Virginia, according to an announcement by Governor Abigail Spanberger. The company plans to invest $1.8 million in the facility and will create 78 new jobs.
Auria said the facility will serve as a mission integration center to develop, test, demonstrate, and integrate command, control, and mission integration capabilities for national security customers. The company provides services including space operations, satellite communications, space domain awareness, missile defense, and cybersecurity for government, commercial, and international customers.
Auria was formed in 2024 through the merger of several national security and space technology firms. According to CEO Damian DiPippa, "Northern Virginia is rapidly becoming Auria's largest employment footprint, making Reston the natural choice to complement our existing Warrenton operations and serve as our East Coast headquarters."
