Mobilicom (NASDAQ: MOB), a provider of cybersecure solutions for drones and robotics, announced it has engaged a U.S.-based contract manufacturer to establish its first domestic manufacturing operations in Phoenix, Arizona. The move is part of the company’s strategy to increase and onshore production of its proprietary cybersecure datalink products, with initial U.S.-manufactured products expected by the end of 2026. The initiative is designed to meet growing customer demand, reduce delivery lead times, and strengthen supply chain resilience, according to the company’s announcement covered by NEWMEDIAWIRE.
The expansion builds on Mobilicom’s existing presence in the U.S. defense market. Its technologies have been integrated into a Tier-1 drone platform selected for a U.S. Department of War Program of Record. Additionally, its National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)-compliant solutions have been included in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) initial Trusted Drones exemptions and the Department of War Blue UAS Framework. These credentials position the company to supply components that meet stringent U.S. security and sourcing requirements.
For readers tracking the defense and commercial drone supply chain, the establishment of U.S. manufacturing is significant. It could lead to faster delivery of cybersecure datalinks for American drone makers and defense contractors, reducing reliance on overseas production. The company expects its domestic manufacturing capabilities to support larger-scale deployments and additional market opportunities in 2027 and beyond. This onshoring effort aligns with broader federal pushes to secure critical technology supply chains.
Mobilicom’s portfolio includes cybersecurity, software, hardware, and professional services that power, connect, guide, and secure drones and robotics. The company reports deployments across the globe with over 50 customers, including the world’s largest drone manufacturers. Its end-to-end solutions are used in mission-critical functions, making production reliability and security paramount.
