Time to get to work. America has answered the call before. Now, we must answer it again. The United States can no longer rely on foreign-controlled supply chains for the critical technologies and components required to build drones, robotics, and autonomous systems. The U.S. Department of War 🇺🇸's Office of Strategic Capital has committed up to $820 million to PDW to build the critical components that will power America’s drone industrial base. This announcement is bigger than PDW. It's a commitment to national security. We are honored to be the first American drone manufacturer to help advance this priority and remain committed to putting decisive airpower in the hands of every operator. This is not the finish line. It is the starting line. Proud to Protect. Read the Department of War's announcement below for further details.

"We are learning from Ukraine every day." – U.S. Secretary of Defense when asked whether American bases are protected against attacks similar to the SBU’s Operation Spiderweb. So, what can NATO learn from Ukraine when it comes to the use of and defense against drones? 🔳 Counter-drone defense According to Ukrainian military officials, no NATO army is currently prepared to withstand a mass drone assault. 🔳 Camouflaging weapons ▪️ Over years of war, Ukrainian Defenders have mastered concealing weapons near the front lines under tree cover and camouflage netting. ▪️ Ukraine’s military has also developed systems for jamming Russian signals and tracking enemy drones. ▪️ NATO is considering using drones as tools for early warning and border deterrence. ▪️ NATO countries bordering Russia have initiated the creation of a Baltic Drone Wall — a network of drones, sensors, jamming systems, and surveillance equipment. 🔳 Drone production ▪️ Ukraine has significantly ramped up its capabilities and plans to produce 5 million drones in 2025. ▪️ Within NATO, Germany is working closely with Ukraine on drone development. ▪️ The EU has also announced plans to strengthen its member states’ capacity to manufacture drones. 🔳 Frontline testing Drone prototypes in Ukraine are immediately sent into combat and tested against Russian capabilities. The data gathered is then directly used to refine drone manufacturing. 🔳 Drone pilot training ▪️ This year, NATO conducted extended simulation-based drone exercises. ▪️ NATO also has a training center in Poland to study and apply Ukrainian experience. ▪️ Denmark has sent its military personnel to Ukraine to learn drone warfare tactics firsthand. 📹: DW

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. Army got comfortable letting the Air Force shoot down drones from 400 miles away and paid the price when Iran fired them across 110 miles of the Persian Gulf instead. Admiral Mark Montgomery says the U.S. had no counter-drone interceptors, relied on Patriots that cost $4 million per round against $20,000 drones, and dragged every Gulf partner down the same path. "The army failed to understand the impact these drones could have in combat. We could see it in Ukraine. The U.S. Army has a lot to answer for." Mark Montgomery

Just over a month since signing an MOU that quickly followed our joint work at the U.S. Army Operation Jailbreak, Havoc and AZAK continue advancing autonomous ground systems together. What started as a rapid integration effort has become an ongoing partnership focused on quickly developing and scaling autonomous ground capabilities. In this video, Havoc COO Joe Turner and AZAK CEO Ben Meager discuss the latest. AZAK's innovative wheel architecture combines a low center of gravity with exceptional ground clearance, allowing the vehicle to reach terrain that conventional ground vehicles simply can't. Combined with Havoc's collaborative autonomy software, those capabilities become even more powerful—enabling autonomous systems to navigate challenging environments, project other autonomous assets forward, and extend mission reach without sacrificing endurance. This partnership demonstrates how quickly interoperable, open-architecture systems can move from integration to real capability. Thank you again to U.S. Army Futures and Concepts Command for creating environments that bring industry together to collaborate, integrate, and deliver at speed.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Trump is making preparations to send nearly 12,000 US soldiers to Iran. The operation is being funded by the Saudi Government, UAE, Qatar and Kuwait. Iran already has 650,000 soldiers and 250,000 paramilitary troops and a total of 2,000,000 troop forces including reserves. The U.S-Israel-GCC ground operations need much more than a miracle to succeed. This is a suicide mission, pure and simple.

🚨🇺🇸🇰🇷 U.S. V‑BAT Drone to Be Armed With South Korean Laser‑Guided Munition Shield AI has confirmed that its V‑BAT VTOL UAV will be integrated with South Korea’s L‑MDM laser‑guided munition, developed in cooperation with LIG Nex1. The integration allows medium class tactical drones to conduct precision strike missions, not just intelligence and surveillance. 🔹 V‑BAT can operate without a runway, launching from ships and remote or infrastructure‑limited areas. 🔹 L‑MDM uses semi‑active laser guidance and is designed to engage fixed and moving ground targets, including in GPS‑denied or contested environments. The move reflects expanding U.S. Republic of Korea cooperation in unmanned systems and highlights the evolving role of tactical UAVs in modern military operations.

10 WAYS TO PLAY AMERICAN DRONE DOMINANCE ENTERING 2026 1. $ONDS builds the secure communication networks drones rely on to transmit video, data & commands without being jammed or hacked. 2. $AVAV is the dominant U.S. military drone prime with large, long-endurance platforms used for surveillance & strike missions backed by deep Pentagon relationships. 3. $KTOS builds unmanned military systems, including attritable drones designed for high-risk combat environments that's focused on scaling low-cost deployments. 4. $DPRO provides drone operations, training & services rather than manufacturing. This is the “boots & operators” layer that enables real-world deployment. 5. $PLTR enables command, control & decision-making by fusing drone data with battlefield intelligence to coordinate missions in real time. 6. $UMAC focuses on software that allows multiple drones to be managed, coordinated & controlled together. This is the “fleet manager” layer that turns individual drones into organized fleets. 7. $RCAT designs & sells rugged, short-range tactical drones used by military units, police & emergency responders. Think boots-on-the-ground hardware for real-world operations. 8. $ENVX develops advanced batteries that increase drone flight time, payload capacity & reliability directly improving mission endurance. 9. $TDY supplies high-end sensors, imaging & electronic systems that drones use to see, track & identify targets. This is the intelligence layer that turns drones into decision-making tools. 10. $TXT represents legacy drone manufacturing with real deployment history, building proven platforms like Shadow & Aerosonde & maintaining entrenched DoD relationships tied to tactical ISR missions.

‼️‼️🇺🇲 BIG | The USA for the first time shot down a fiber-optic drone The American company Epirus reported a significant breakthrough in the field of countering drones. Its microwave system "Leonidas" for the first time hit a drone with fiber-optic control - one of the most difficult targets for modern electronic warfare means. Previously, the complex had already hit a swarm of 49 drones, but the new test was particularly significant. In December 2025, at a closed test range of the US Army, the system was able to disable a fiber-optic UAV, depriving it of control and causing an uncontrolled fall. Fiber-optic drones, which are widely used today, including in the Ukrainian theater of operations, do not use radio control channels. The signal is transmitted via a thin fiber-optic cable, which makes such drones extremely difficult to detect and suppress. In a report by the US Army in 2024, such drones were called "one of the main threats to air defense systems and anti-drone warfare". The CEO of Epirus noted that the mass spread of fiber-optic UAVs has become a turning point in the evolution of unmanned warfare and has revealed a serious gap in anti-drone defense systems - a gap that "Leonidas" is designed to close. In 2025, Epirus received a contract for $43.5 million for the supply of two second-generation "Leonidas" systems. Its range of destruction is more than twice that of the first version; a 30% increase in power; there are built-in high-energy batteries; a reduction in dependence on external power supply. The system can be installed on: Stryker 8×8 armored vehicles, light tactical vehicles, other mobile platforms. See the latest updates with us: Visioner
