Counter-Drone Procurement Goes Generational

The U.S. defense procurement environment is experiencing a significant shift toward counter-drone systems as a critical capability. The global counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) market is projected to grow from $6.64 billion in 2025 to $20.31 billion by 2030 at a 25.1% CAGR. Section 1709 of the FY25 NDAA has effectively banned foreign-manufactured drones from the U.S. defense supply chain, creating opportunities for domestic defense contractors. Several companies are positioning themselves to capitalize on this trend through vertically integrated platforms combining RF sensing, computer vision, and AI analytics.
