Performance Drone Works has secured a conditional loan of up to $820 million from the U.S. War Department to enhance domestic drone production capabilities. This funding will address national security demands by expanding manufacturing and improving supply chain resilience.

On February 18, 2025, the U.S. War Department's Office of Strategic Capital granted a conditional loan commitment of up to $820 million to Performance Drone Works. This financing aims to increase the production capacity of uncrewed aerial systems and defense hardware, supporting the company's goal to commercialize advanced tactical drones.
The initiative is part of a broader strategy to bolster domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers for critical technology components. Increased factory capacity and shorter delivery timelines are expected outcomes, enhancing support for defense contractors and military branches.
