The SkyFoundry Act, introduced by Rep. Pat Harrigan, is integrated into the National Defense Authorization Act to bolster US drone production capabilities. The legislation authorizes the establishment of a government-run facility to manufacture up to one million small drones each year.

This initiative aims to sever supply chain ties with China and resolve ongoing procurement issues. The act promotes a new collaborative model between the government and multiple industry partners to streamline production and address past failures in military strategy.
