Protecting the Nation... Exploring the Cosmos...

Huntsville Aerospace/Defense Industry Overview

Welcome to one of the United States’ leading

technology communities. Since the early 1950s,

Huntsville, Alabama, has been one of the nation’s

principal centers for space and defense technology.

Home to the work of Dr. Wernher von Braun and

America’s rocket development program, the Huntsville

community and Redstone Arsenal are the location of

choice for the country’s best and brightest aerospace

engineers and scientists. Rocket City USA, as the

region was known, gave original meaning to the term

“rocket science.”

The Huntsville community is recognized nationally

by Inc., Forbes and the Wall Street Journal as one

of America’s leading technology communities. Local

and state leaders provide strong support for business

growth including fostering a dynamic education

system, a high quality of life, low cost of living and

doing business, and the infrastructure needed for

success. With the highest concentration of engineers

and technology workers in the country, Huntsville/

Madison County, continues to be a smart place to live,

work and play.

Cummings Research Park

One of the country’s leading science and technology parks, Cummings Research Park is a key component of the Huntsville community’s

aerospace and defense success. Located adjacent to Redstone Arsenal, the 3,800-acre park is home to more than 300 companies

employing 30,000 workers. Twenty-three of the top 26 U.S. government contractors have operations in Huntsville, as do 57 of the

top 100. Numerous Fortune 500 companies and global technology corporations have major operations in Cummings Research Park

performing aerospace and defense technology research and development. This collection of technical expertise gives the Huntsville community

the highest concentration of engineers in the country and is vital to supporting major Department of Defense and NASA contract programs and

commercial technology applications. The University of Alabama in Huntsville is also located in the park and is annually ranked among the highest

technology research universities in the U.S. The unique synergy of academia, government and industry working together on a global scale makes the

Huntsville community a premier technology center of excellence for aerospace and defense research and development.

Redstone GatewayRedstone Gateway is a 468-acre state-of-the art office and mixed-use

park located adjacent to Interstate 565 at Gate 9, the main gate into

Redstone Arsenal. Redstone Gateway provides an advantageous

location for those seeking immediate access to customers located

at Redstone Arsenal. Redstone Gateway features both secured and

public Class A office buildings and will ultimately contain 4.6 million

square feet of space. Huntsville’s newest office park is being built

in three phases over the next 20 years and will include retail and

hospitality amenities. The first three buildings are fully leased by The

Boeing Company.

Port of Huntsville Centrally located in the southeastern United States, Huntsville/

Madison County provides an excellent location for accessing and

serving the southern U.S. region. Further extending the area’s reach

into the global market is the Port of Huntsville with its commercial air

service, domestic and international cargo service, and industrial park.

At the heart of the Port of Huntsville is Huntsville International

Airport (HSV) with two parallel runways – including the second

longest in the Southeast at 12,600 feet – that can accommodate the

industry’s largest aircrafts including 747-8 freighters. The International

Intermodal Center is its single hub location with capabilities to

receive, transfer, store and distribute air, rail and highway cargo both

domestically and internationally. Also located at the Port of Huntsville

is the Jetplex Industrial Park which has available direct runway access,

Foreign-Trade Zone status, and on-site U.S. Customs & Border Patrol.

This unique combination of services makes the Port of Huntsville an

ideal location for expanding.
