WHY

The U.S. Cannot Make the Drones It Needs

In 2025, the U.S. produced less than 100,000 drones — while global competitors produced tens of millions.

Further, the U.S. remains dependent on Chinese 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

Carolina DroneHub 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
  • strong 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.
