That funding is going to let them roll out more products, beef up engineering teams, and ramp up drone production big time. The round was spearheaded by Andes Holdings.

Leaders at the company are hyped, stressing how these small unmanned aircraft systems are crucial for modern battlefields. They want a fully American supply chain to stay ahead of rivals and dodge foreign dependencies. On to CEO Erad Brock called it a game changer for building homegrown drone factories that deliver in tough real world spots. It's raising the bar for everyone in the game.
