Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Wednesday announced a business expansion in Sterling Heights that will result in $5 million in capital investment, creating at least 125 new jobs.
Capture Group Inc. is the U.S. entity of Capture Systems Ltd., a company that specializes in developing innovative, high-performance systems for the defense and homeland security sectors. In response to the growing threat from unmanned aerial systems (UAS), the company has developed advanced Counter-UAS platforms capable of detecting, identifying, and neutralizing airborne threats.
Capture Systems Ltd. formed Capture Group Inc. in 2026 to establish a U.S. presence and expand its operations to serve the U.S. market and is developing a facility in Sterling Heights to serve as a production and operations hub for advanced defense technologies.
“Michigan is on the move and open for business, competing for and winning big projects in next-generation industries from aviation to defense,” said Governor Whitmer. “Today’s announcement will create 125 new good-paying jobs and help cement Michigan as the best place for cutting-edge research and development that moves our nation forward. Let’s keep working together to show the world that Michigan is the best place to build the future.”
The expansion has been awarded a $936,000 Michigan Business Development Program (MBDP) performance-based grant from the Michigan Strategic Fund. The project will bring an anticipated capital investment of at least $5 million in the City of Sterling Heights and is expected to create at least 125 qualified new jobs over the next five years with starting wages of $25.00 per hour plus benefits.
When complete, the facility will include production lines for Counter-UAS platforms, optical surveillance systems, and mobile defense systems. It will also function as a marketing base and a center for development, integration, and testing of advanced counter-drone systems and remote-controlled weapon stations.
The company also considered sites in Florida and Virginia; choosing Michigan for its new U.S. facility reinforces Sterling Heights and Macomb County as defense anchors while elevating the state’s reputation as a hub for innovation and homeland security solutions.
