Pentagon partners with robotics startup for mass-produced drones
The Pentagon awarded a $9 million contract to Machina Labs to build modular factories for mass-producing low-cost attack drones. This 18-month project creates metal airframes for the LUCAS uncrewed combat system.
These modular facilities allow for rapid, scalable production of autonomous systems. By using AI-powered robotic arms, the military replaces slow manufacturing with flexible, quick assembly.
