Defense tech Hadrian announced on Thursday that it had raised a fresh $1.37 billion round at a valuation of $7.87 billion from a mile-long list of well-known investors. 国防科技公司 Hadrian 周四宣布，公司完成了一轮 13.7 亿美元的新融资，估值达到 78.7 亿美元，投资方名单中汇集了众多知名机构。

The lead investors in the round include WCM Investment Management, Washington Harbour Partners, Valor Equity Partners, 137 Ventures, and Baillie Gifford. Participating investors include 1789 Capital, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, funds managed by Apollo and T. Rowe Price, as well as firms like CapitalG, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, Altimeter, and others. 本轮融资的领投方包括 WCM Investment Management、Washington Harbour Partners、Valor Equity Partners、137 Ventures 和 Baillie Gifford。参与投资的机构还包括 1789 Capital、摩根士丹利财富管理（Morgan Stanley Wealth Management）、由 Apollo 和 T. Rowe Price 管理的基金，以及 CapitalG、Andreessen Horowitz、Founders Fund、Lux Capital、Altimeter 等公司。

Founders Fund and Lux led the company’s $260 million Series C financing about a year ago, bringing the total raised to date to around $2 billion, according to PitchBook estimates. 据 PitchBook 估算，Founders Fund 和 Lux 曾在大约一年前领投了该公司 2.6 亿美元的 C 轮融资，这使得 Hadrian 迄今为止的总融资额达到约 20 亿美元。

Hadrian is an interesting defense tech in that it’s not trying to build new AI-powered weapons. The company is building automated manufacturing facilities that will mass-produce parts for the vehicles that the military complex already relies on. Hadrian 是一家独特的国防科技公司，因为它并不致力于研发新型人工智能武器。该公司正在建设自动化制造工厂，旨在为军工复合体现有的装备大规模生产零部件。

For instance, in March, Hadrian opened a facility in Alabama to mass-produce parts for submarines, making that its fourth facility. The deal for that facility, structured as a public/private partnership, was valued at $2.4 billion, Hadrian said. 例如，今年 3 月，Hadrian 在阿拉巴马州开设了一家工厂，用于大规模生产潜艇零部件，这也是该公司的第四家工厂。Hadrian 表示，该工厂以公私合营（PPP）模式运作，项目价值达 24 亿美元。
