$500 million is Joby Aviation's stated acquisition price for Resonant Sciences, with no component breakdown in the announcement. That sum represents the full disclosed value of an agreement to acquire, not a completed transaction. Joby says the deal will kick off a defense business it describes as new.
A defense vertical built from zero
Resonant Sciences is the founding acquisition. Short answer on what the company makes or earns: the source provides none. Joby frames the deal as the origin of a business line it had not previously operated, placing this transaction at the start of a revenue category rather than inside an existing one. $500 million is the entry price for standing up that division.
