The Pentagon plans to acquire 30,000 affordable drones to boost U.S. drone dominance and reduce reliance on Chinese components, benefiting domestic drone manufacturers, officials said.
- This year, Pentagon's DOGE is leading an effort to overhaul the U.S. military drone program and aims to acquire at least 30,000 drones in the coming months.
- The initiative aims to address sourcing challenges, with President Donald Trump designating the drone program a defense priority in a June executive order, giving DOGE influence.
- Owen West, DOGE drone team leader, co-authored Hegseth's July drone memo and has military and financial experience including Marine service and Goldman Sachs work.
- Companies like Red Cat, Skydio and PDW stand to benefit from cheap-drone buys, while venture-backed startup Neros recently won a Marines contract for low-cost drones.
- The DOGE team is expected to submit a report to an executive committee in the Office of the Secretary of Defense by next week, while the Department of Defense has not updated the Replicator initiative.
