Drones Dominate the Skies: Pentagon to Boost Low-Cost Production Amid Exponential Growth Opportunity

The US Department of Defense plans to increase low-cost drone production to maintain battlefield superiority. The Pentagon has displayed 18 American-made drone prototypes, which can be manufactured using off-the-shelf components for rapid production. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has rescinded restrictive policies hindering drone production, and the DOD will prioritize the purchase of American-made drones and parts. Companies such as ZenaTech, Mercury Systems, Safe Pro Group, RTX Corporation, and AIRO Group Holdings are involved in the drone industry.
