Autonomous Power Corporation, operating under the commercial name Powerus, has announced a $30 million strategic equity investment from Unusual Machines, a Nasdaq-listed American drone hardware company. The investment is designed to accelerate the expansion of domestic autonomous drone manufacturing infrastructure and advance supply chain localization within the United States.
Investment Background
As the U.S. government continues to push policies aimed at reducing reliance on foreign—particularly Chinese—drone supply chains, American drone manufacturers are facing an unprecedented window of opportunity. Unusual Machines, a key advocate for U.S.-made drone hardware, views its significant stake in Powerus as a critical step toward strengthening domestic autonomous drone production capabilities.
The move comes as federal procurement and security policies increasingly favor drones manufactured in the United States, creating strong tailwinds for companies positioned to meet that demand.

Industry observers expect the deal to herald a new phase of rapid expansion in U.S. autonomous drone manufacturing infrastructure. As more capital flows into domestic drone supply chains, production capacity is widely anticipated to grow significantly over the coming years.
