BlueHalo to expand operations, adding 200 new jobs in MD – Maryland Daily Record

Gov. Wes Moore Monday announced that global defense company BlueHalo is expanding its operations in Montgomery County and growing its workforce throughout the state.

The company is establishing a new 57,000-square-foot facility in Germantown for research, development and manufacturing and as part of the expansion is creating a total of 200 jobs at its facilities throughout Montgomery, Anne Arundel and Howard counties, bringing its statewide employment to 600 workers.

BlueHalo is purpose-built to provide industry-leading capabilities in the areas of space, counter-unmanned aircraft systems and autonomous systems, electronic warfare and cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence and machine learning. The company develops and brings to market next-generation capabilities to support customers’ critical missions and national security. 

Located at 20521 Seneca Meadows, BlueHalo plans to be operational at the new leased location by the end of the year. To assist with project costs, the Maryland Department of Commerce is working to approve a $1 million conditional loan through Advantage Maryland, as well as a $50,000 grant through the Partnership for Workforce Quality program. Additionally, Montgomery County plans to provide a $100,000 conditional grant through its Economic Development Fund.
