Mobix Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOBX), a U.S.-based provider of advanced electronic components for aerospace and defense, announced its initial production order for components supporting the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The order, placed by a veteran-owned U.S. aerospace sustainment contractor that supports the U.S. Air Force F-16 fleet, includes EMI-filtered connectors manufactured at Mobix Labs’ military-approved facility in Irvine, California. Initial shipments have already been delivered, with the remainder scheduled for delivery in the coming weeks.
This order marks a strategic expansion for Mobix Labs across major U.S. fighter aircraft programs. The company has previously reported growth supporting the F-22 Raptor, where component orders increased approximately fivefold over prior activity. Its components also support the F-35 Lightning II and F/A-18 Super Hornet, as well as other defense platforms such as Apache helicopters, U.S. Navy shipboard secure communications systems, missile programs, Gulfstream aircraft, and certified onboard systems for Boeing 737NG aircraft.
The significance of this development lies in the sustained demand for legacy platforms like the F-16, which remains a cornerstone of U.S. and allied air forces. As defense budgets prioritize modernization and sustainment, suppliers like Mobix Labs are positioned to benefit from ongoing maintenance and upgrade cycles. The EMI-filtered connectors are critical for ensuring electromagnetic interference protection, a vital requirement in military avionics and communication systems.
Mobix Labs operates through subsidiaries including EMI Solutions and RaGE Systems, providing technologies for commercial aerospace, military, and other high-reliability applications. The production order reinforces the company’s role in the defense supply chain, particularly for aircraft that require specialized components to maintain operational readiness.
The announcement also highlights the broader trend of increased defense spending and the importance of domestic manufacturing. Mobix Labs’ Irvine facility is military-approved, aligning with U.S. government preferences for secure, onshore production of defense-related components. As geopolitical tensions drive higher demand for military capabilities, companies that supply critical parts for fighter jets are likely to see sustained orders.
