Carolina Drone Hub
Building America’s Drone Manufacturing Capacity
A U.S.-based production hub delivering NDAA-compliant drones at scale — from rapid prototyping to 100,000+ units annually.
WHY
The U.S. Cannot Meet Its Own Drone Demand
In 2025, the U.S. produces fewer than 100,000 drones — while global competitors produce tens of millions.
At the same time, the U.S. remains dependent on foreign components, including critical parts like motors.
New federal mandates are accelerating demand for low-cost, compliant drones — but domestic production is not ready to meet it.
WHAT
A Scalable U.S. Drone Manufacturing Platform
The Drone Hub is a fully integrated production and R&D platform designed to rapidly scale NDAA-compliant drone manufacturing in the U.S.
- full-cycle production: prototyping → validation → mass manufacturing
- domestic, secure supply chains — including critical components
- modular factory design, scalable across multiple locations
Built to support both commercial and defense applications.
SOUTH CAROLINA
Built in South Carolina — Positioned for Scale
South Carolina provides the infrastructure and ecosystem required for rapid scaling of drone production:
- access to defense and aerospace infrastructure
- proximity to ports, logistics, and testing environments
- trong alignment with federal and state defense initiatives
- skilled workforce for electronics and advanced manufacturing
This enables fast deployment and reliable supply for U.S. customers.
Capabilities
Scalable from pilot batches to full industrial output.
From concept to deployable platforms with real-world testing.
Designed for mission-ready deployment.
Secure, domestic supply chains aligned with U.S. defense standards.
Production at Scale
The Drone Hub is designed to rapidly expand U.S. drone manufacturing capacity:
- 30,000 ft² production facility
- 100,000+ drones annually
- full component production including motors, electronics, and batteries
- modular expansion model for nationwide scaling
Within 18 months, the hub will significantly increase total U.S. drone production capacity
