As the government wants to accelerate US Drone Manufacturing with funding and stakes in several companies.
We need to move up all of UMAC's revenue projections. They will hit those numbers much earlier than anticipated. Welcome to the Drone Supercycle
Our Strategic Advisor, General Charles Q. Brown, Jr., USAF (Ret.), just won the 2026 Bruce Whitman Trophy.
21st Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. 22nd Chief of Staff of the Air Force. Nearly 40 years shaping American airpower. The award honors that record and his work mentoring the next generation.
Congratulations, General. @GenCQBrownJr

America's national security is dependent upon having the technologies, supplies, and minerals critical to maintaining our edge on the battlefield. That's why as Chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee I've prioritized efforts like the Office of Strategic Capital.
Kopin CEO Michael Murray breaks down the company's defense-first, vertically integrated semiconductor strategy at Kopin's 2026 Technology Demo Days. He discusses drones, night vision goggles, soldier-borne mission command, and AI interconnects. And he drops this stat: the U.S. government is the second largest buyer of AI racks in the world.
🦅 Supply chain security isn't just about where a drone is assembled. It's about what's inside it.
A Chinese-made component in a UK military drone was reportedly communicating with an IP address in China.
🔍 Trusted components
🔗 Traceable supply chains
🏭 Secure domestic production
This is why rebuilding the U.S. drone component ecosystem matters.

Congratulations to Neros who delivered early and received the bonus order for Drone Dominance Phase 1. All USA made parts too. And they've placed high again for the Phase 2 qualifier.
They also received a 500 mil contract recently and it's no wonder as to why. They have a top performing drone in the Neros Archer.
Their Archer drone uses Umac parts too. And you'll also spot our Soldiers who pilot the Neros Archer using Fat Shark googles as well.
So hats off once again to Neros and 100% Made in the USA drones.
The latest Drone Dominance Program leaderboard updates are in, with @neros_tech receiving the first bonus order of 2,000 units. Bonus awards are based on delivery performance. Gauntlet 2 launches next week in Fort Carson, Colorado.
This is how innovation becomes an operational advantage.

More of the same today, you love to see it. Still believe we're early in the Drone Supercycle with plenty of catalysts ahead. A lot of Defense money still to be spent before the term's end. And a massive amount of money sits waiting for approval in next year's Defense budget. Just a 24000% increase for Drones. Nothing major.
Last but not least is a massive ramp in expansion for the company in the coming months. Nothing but good times ahead. We're early.

Some great things with the share price today. Maybe it's known they're getting a stake? Maybe it's a short squeeze?
Maybe hedge funds finally see the fundamentals make sense and the stock should be over $30 based on forward revenue?
Who knows, but good to see after a month in the dirt.
Ondas has completed its acquisition of Cyberhawk, a global leader in drone-enabled inspection, visual data management and AI-powered asset intelligence for critical infrastructure operators.
Cyberhawk adds scaled inspection operations, a proprietary visual data platform and AI analytics to the Ondas systems of systems portfolio, extending sensing-to-decision workflows into utilities, energy, renewables, mining and industrial markets. $ONDS

Today, we signed definitive agreements to acquire @WiskAero, @skygridai, and @Insitu_Inc from @Boeing, with Boeing taking a stake in Archer and becoming a strategic partner. We anticipate closing the transaction by year end.
Wisk will accelerate our Halo/Thunder dual-use aircraft platform. Deploying nascent tech early in defense benefits our entire business. Wisk has some of the most advanced autonomy, flight controls, and sensor technologies in the industry. We plan to deploy that technology on Halo first, so that we can harden it and then bring it back to the air taxi platform when the FAA is ready to certify autonomy for passenger air taxis.
Insitu is an incredibly trusted and reputable intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance drone manufacturer. They operate a profitable business with over $200M in annual revenue across 35 countries and they’ve manufactured 4,000 Group 2 & 3 UAS to date. For us that means an immediate revenue base to grow plus data from 2M autonomous flight hours.
SkyGrid is complementary to ZEE, our new foundation AI model for aviation that we recently announced. SkyGrid has been in use as next-generation airspace management solutions since 2018 and we believe that when combined with Zee it can become a “must have” air traffic management product that helps modernize airspaces around the world.
This transaction will help accelerate our evolution into becoming a diversified aerospace and defense platform. After closing, our product portfolio will span piloted air taxis, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in Groups 2 through 5, purpose-built AI for aviation, and the vertical technology stack for autonomous flight.

NEW: Royal Navy sea drones secretly sent data to China.
Cameras onboard a fleet of surveillance drones were found to contain Chinese parts despite assurances from suppliers that they were secure.
An investigation found the cameras had been sending “heartbeat” signals to an IP address in China, forcing the Ministry of Defence to remove their connectivity.
The Navy purchased the drones, made by Kraken Technology Group, in March. They are set to be sent to the Strait of Hormuz as part of the UK’s plan to protect the waterways.
The MoD insist no sensitive data was breached and vulnerabilities have now been patched. Defence sources say this is a “major” failure.

A few major $PUSA developments since my last video 👇🏼
1️⃣ July 17 — Powerus advanced to Phase 3 of the @USArmy xTech Adaptive Strike competition, selected as one of up to 10 finalists.
2️⃣ July 30 — The S-4 was officially filed with the SEC. This is the registration statement required for the proposed merger, and a major step toward completing the transaction and bringing Powerus public.
3️⃣ August 4 — @usairforce awarded Powerus an IDIQ contract with a ceiling of up to $90M through mid-2028.
Here’s my original breakdown of the company and why I think $PUSA is flying under the radar. ⬇️
The next few months is the put up or shut up moment for defensetech: it is obvious that the primes cannot provide anywhere near the wartime scale required to replenish munitions stocks. The only question now is if the swagger of the newcomers is anything more than VC storytime.
