A major shift is underway in Western drone production โ and the implications for defence capability and industrial strategy are significant.his week, that changed.
The United States has launched the
$1B Drone Dominance Program, allocating
$450M for 2026 procurement with a clear mandate:
Produce and deliver 90,000 OWA (one-way-attack) drones in 2026.
***This is not a study. It is a ---**production order.
The program begins with a gauntlet-style flight evaluation on February 16th, where up to 12 vendors will be down selected to share the first
$150M in orders to be delivered 2-4 months later.
And for Rift Dynamics, the timing could not be more aligned.
******By coincidence, we kicked off our U.S. production this week at our production partner Kitron Groups facility in Pennsylvania.
The industrial race has begun โ and we are ready. Ondas Holdings and Eric Brock letโs go!
