Huntsville Company Expands Domestic Drone Production Capacity
Performance Drone Works (PDW), a Huntsville-based defense technology company, is poised for significant expansion in domestic drone manufacturing after receiving a conditional federal loan commitment worth up to $820 million. The financing, announced by the US Department of War’s Office of Strategic Capital, would help establish high-volume US production of critical drone components, supporting PDW’s aircraft as well as products manufactured by other US drone companies. The expansion aims to strengthen domestic supply chains for unmanned aircraft and reinforce Huntsville’s role as a growing hub for defense manufacturing, as reported by 256 Today.
