Covenant, a defence company that had been operating in stealth, announces its missile programme and major manufacturing plans after previously staying under the radar. The company says it is launching Anthem, a long-range deep-strike precision missile system, and also outlines its funding and industrial footprint.
According to reporting, Covenant has raised more than $250 million across multiple funding rounds and is setting up facilities in three countries. The Next Web describes a roughly 105,000 square-foot missile factory opening in Texas, while the Jerusalem Post says Covenant has facilities in the US, Germany, and Israel.
The outlets differ mainly in emphasis and specific figures beyond the common funding and locations. The Next Web characterises Anthem as intended for production “in the thousands” and notes the company’s scale-up activities. The Jerusalem Post provides a specific production target, stating Covenant plans to produce as many as 5,000 long-range weapons per year. Both accounts portray Covenant as moving from secrecy to public execution with manufacturing capacity and planned output.
