San Diego-based Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Inc. announced plans Tuesday to expand its newly established business unit in Birmingham.
With the support of critical enhancement programs provided by the state, Jefferson County and the city of Birmingham, Kratos expects to add 76 jobs and make approximately $8.6 million in capital investments in its Birmingham facility over the next five years.
