SkyFoundry and the Future of American Drone Production at Scale

The United States lacks the capacity to produce drones at the scale of competitors like China and Russia. To address this shortfall, the SkyFoundry Act was introduced and incorporated into the National Defense Authorization Act. This legislation authorizes a government-run facility capable of producing one million small drones annually. The goal is to remove China from the U.S. supply chain, end procurement delays, and establish a new model for government-industry partnership to fix strategic military production failures.
