Colorado defense contractor moving HQ, investing $20M in Hillsborough County

Colorado-based defense technology company Orion Edge Group has moved its headquarters to Tampa, the company announced Wednesday — bringing 20 new jobs to the region along with a commitment to invest $20 million investment in Hillsborough County. 

Orion Edge Group develops tactical electronic warfare systems that allow U.S. forces to disrupt and disconnect both enemy communications and navigation networks for drones and other uncrewed craft, all with the touch of a button. 

Founded by CEO John Mueller in 2024, Orion Edge is the latest in a growing number of businesses and contractors to relocate to Tampa, bolstering the region’s growing reputation as a national hub for cybersecurity and defense innovations.
