Divergent Selected to Support U.S. Air Force’s $46 Billion EWAAC Program

Divergent Technologies, Inc. (Divergent) has been selected as part of the U.S. Air Force’s Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC), a multiple-award, $46 billion Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle designed to accelerate the development and fielding of advanced weapon systems.

As part of the EWAAC program, Divergent will apply its proprietary Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS™) to deliver next-generation aerospace and defense technologies. DAPS is an end-to-end engineering and manufacturing platform that integrates AI-driven design, industrial-rate additive manufacturing, and universal robotic assembly. It enables the development and production of structures with higher performance, speed, and scalability than conventional manufacturing systems. The system brings a unique capability to conduct rapid R&D on both new and modified legacy weapon systems, allowing for faster design and production of higher-performing munitions. With DAPS, Divergent can deliver clean-sheet designs through to flight-test-ready prototypes in a matter of months.

“EWAAC is built to move quickly from concept to fielded system. DAPS enables that pace due to its fully integrated system that utilizes end-to-end production of advanced systems. It can produce systems faster, leaner, and with more flexibly than traditional defense manufacturing,” said Lukas Czinger, President & CEO of Divergent.

Under the contract, Divergent will focus on delivering mission-critical subsystems and components that meet stringent performance, reliability, and survivability requirements. Its modular development process and digital production platform are designed to improve manufacturability while reducing technical and supply chain risk.

Managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Eglin Air Force Base, EWAAC is structured to streamline acquisition and accelerate the deployment of next-generation capabilities to counter near-peer threats.

Divergent’s selection reflects its growing role in defense modernization and underscores its readiness to support the Air Force’s agile development and deployment priorities.

About Divergent

Divergent has created the world’s first end-to-end software-hardware production system for industrial digital manufacturing – the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS™) – allowing customers to design, additively manufacture, and automatically assemble complex structures for automotive, aerospace, and defense applications. DAPS transforms the economics, speed, and scalability of defense vehicle manufacturing by optimizing designs, dematerializing structures, and eliminating upfront capex.
