THE AMERICAN
MISSION
Advanced Drones for a Safer and Stonger America
1. AMERICA SHOULD LEAD THE
FUTURE OF FLIGHT.
The drone revolution changed what is possible.
In little more than a decade, unmanned aircraft evolved from hobbyist technology into critical tools used across American industry, infrastructure, and public safety.
2. DRONES DO MORE THAN MAKE WORK MORE EFFICIENT.

They make the work safer.
They inspect power lines without putting linemen beneath helicopter blades. They give first responders a view of dangerous scenes before sending people into harm’s way. They help inspect bridges, monitor infrastructure, survey construction sites, respond to disasters, and accomplish missions that were once slower, more expensive, and far more dangerous.
And somewhere along the way, America became increasingly dependent on foreign technology to accomplish them...
3. THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE.
For years, much of the technology powering America’s unmanned aviation industry has come from overseas, particularly China.
The more important drones become to our infrastructure, public safety, industry, and national security, the more important it becomes to ask a simple question:
Who do we want building and supporting the technology we depend on?
We believe the answer should increasingly be American companies, American engineers, and American innovators.
4. THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN WHERE A DRONE COMES FROM.
That does not mean rebuilding an entire aerospace ecosystem overnight.
It means taking deliberate steps toward greater American capability, ownership, support, and manufacturing.
In the near term, that can include working with trusted international partners, integrating proven technology, and assembling and supporting aircraft here in the United States while we continue engineering our own platforms at home.
These stopgap products are not the end goal. They are part of the path forward.
They allow us to support American operators today, build domestic expertise, strengthen service and support infrastructure, and reduce dependence on any single foreign source while our own engineering programs continue to mature.
Our long-term mission is clear:
It is about rebuilding capability, strengthening domestic supply chains, creating American jobs, protecting critical technology, and designing and engineering more of the systems we rely on here at home..
And to ensure that the next generation of unmanned aviation is something America increasingly develops, supports, manufactures, and leads. American drone independence will not happen in a single product cycle. It will be built one platform, one partnership, and one breakthrough at a time.
5. BUILT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP AMERICA MOVING.
We think about the lineman inspecting miles of transmission infrastructure.
The police officer approaching an unknown threat.
The firefighter searching through smoke.
The inspection team responsible for infrastructure that thousands of people depend on every day.
The engineers, operators, technicians, first responders, and professionals doing work most people never see.
These aircraft are tools.
But in the right hands, those tools can help someone return home safely at the end of the day.
That matters to us.
It is why we believe American drone technology deserves serious investment, serious engineering, and serious competition.

6. AMERICA HAS BUILT THE IMPOSSIBLE BEFORE.
American aviation has always been driven by people willing to believe we could build something better.
From the earliest days of powered flight to the aircraft, spacecraft, and technologies that followed, innovation has been part of our national story.
Unmanned aviation should be no different.
We believe America has the talent, engineering capability, manufacturing knowledge, and determination to compete at the highest level.
But leadership does not happen automatically.
We have to build it.
7. OUR PURPOSE.
Tier 1 Drones exists to help build the next generation of American unmanned aircraft.
Aircraft created around real missions.
Aircraft designed for professionals.
Aircraft built with security, capability, durability, and value in mind.
We are not interested in simply recreating what already exists.
We want to help move American unmanned aviation forward.
One platform.
One mission.
One breakthrough at a time.
