Scaling Responsibly: How Dual-Use Design and Multi-Mission Modularity Are Building a Sustainable U.S. UAS Ecosystem

December 3 | 3:00 pm 4:00 pm

From national security to infrastructure inspection, demand for secure, American-made UAS is outpacing supply. This webinar will examine how dual-use, modular platforms built on open architecture principles are redefining the economics of drone manufacturing, enabling the creation of a resilient, sustainable UAS industrial base, and ensuring America’s drone dominance across both defense and commercial operations.

Takeaway themes:

  • Dual-use design accelerates innovation: leveraging shared architectures across commercial and defense applications is the key to strengthening supply chains, enabling U.S. manufacturing at scale.
  • Modularity drives interoperability and lifecycle value: open standards and plug-and-play payloads reduce cost, extend mission life, and future-proof fleets.
  • Form follows function: the cylindrical, coaxial configuration delivers superior performance with a smaller footprint—maximizing lift, stability, and endurance while minimizing exposed parts, maintenance, and cost.
