Who We Are: The Mission and Vision of Apollo Defense Systems

By Jonathan Wimmer

Founded in 2017, Apollo Defense Systems is a premier defense contractor dedicated to providing cutting-edge weapon systems, armor, technology, parts, and other critical resources to state, federal, and global law enforcement and military counterparts. Our mission is simple: to advance the battlefield and support the warfighter with the most reliable and innovative solutions available. We are not just a business; we are a force multiplier, ensuring those on the front lines have the tools they need to succeed in their missions.

The Foundation of Apollo Defense Systems

Apollo Defense Systems was built on a foundation of experience, commitment, and an unwavering belief in the right to defense. As the founder, my background in the defense industry dates back to 2015, when I first became involved in equipping and supporting military and law enforcement professionals. I entered the hedge fund industry in 2020 for a brief career change, a career that sharpened my ability to assess risks, anticipate threats, and develop strategies—skills that seamlessly transferred into the defense sector. Today, I continue to operate Wimmer Capital while ensuring Apollo Defense Systems remains at the forefront of the industry.

Advancing the Battlefield

At Apollo Defense Systems, we understand that modern warfare and law enforcement operations require more than just traditional arms and armor. The battlefield is constantly evolving, and so are the threats that come with it. This is why we are relentless in our pursuit of innovation. Whether it’s state-of-the-art firearms, next-generation armor, advanced targeting systems, or battlefield technology integration, our focus remains on enhancing survivability, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Expanding to Serve Everyday Americans

While our primary focus has always been supporting military and law enforcement agencies, we recognize the importance of the Second Amendment and the right of everyday Americans to protect themselves and their families. In recent years, we have expanded our operations to serve the civilian market, offering weapons, gear, parts, and ammunition at affordable prices. We firmly believe that security and preparedness should not be luxuries but fundamental rights accessible to all law-abiding citizens.

Commitment to Quality and Affordability

One of the core principles that guide Apollo Defense Systems is our commitment to quality. Every product we offer—whether for military, law enforcement, or civilian use—undergoes rigorous testing and evaluation to ensure it meets the highest standards. Our partnerships with top-tier manufacturers and our own in-house development team allow us to produce and distribute top-quality gear at prices that remain accessible.

A Mission That Stands the Test of Time

The right to defend oneself, one’s home, and one’s country is fundamental. At Apollo Defense Systems, we are not just in the business of selling weapons and gear—we are in the business of ensuring that the ability to protect and defend remains a right that cannot be stripped away. Our mission is not dictated by trends or politics; it is driven by a fundamental belief that security is a necessity, not a privilege.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to grow and evolve, Apollo Defense Systems remains committed to innovation, integrity, and the unwavering support of those who serve—whether on the battlefield, the streets, or in their own homes. Our expansion into the civilian market is just one step in a larger mission to equip, empower, and ensure that security and defense remain within reach for all who seek it.

At the end of the day, our purpose is clear: to advance the battlefield, to support the warfighter, and to uphold the right to defense for all Americans. That is who we are. That is Apollo Defense Systems.
