Centennial Colorado (March 1, 2023)— Senator Michael Bennet visited High Point on Friday, February 24, 2023, to learn more about the company’s cutting-edge defense technologies and to discuss the importance of the Defense Industrial Base and its role in advancing U.S. national security efforts at home and abroad. Discussions focused on High Point’s role in several Department of Defense initiatives around Counter Unmanned / Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (C-UAS), Space Launch Protection, and other critical infrastructure protection missions such as port security.
High Point is a leader in the development, integration, and manufacturing of multi-mission/multi-domain solutions including counter-drone systems, thermal imaging cameras, and other advanced defense technologies. During his visit, Sen. Bennet met with High Point’s executive team, toured the company’s facilities, and learned about the innovative products being developed at the company.
Additionally, Sen. Bennet met several members of High Point production team at the 55,000 sq. ft manufacturing facility and got to see firsthand how several other Colorado-made technology components get integrated into High Point products, including the new C-UAS SHIELD System, the Trailerized Anti-UAS Defense Systems (T-AUDS), a Multi-Mode Thermal Imaging (MMTI) camera, and the legacy Containerized Anti-UAS Defense System (C–AUDS).
