Key Highlights
- Powerus has ordered more than $5 million in domestically manufactured drone parts from Unusual Machines.
- The supply agreement covers counter-UAS interceptor components and 10-inch category drone platforms.
- Every component adheres to NDAA compliance standards, ensuring alignment with federal procurement mandates.
- The shipment schedule began in April with completion targeted for the second quarter of 2026.
- Meanwhile, Powerus aims to become publicly traded through a reverse merger transaction with Aureus Greenway Holdings (AGH) on Nasdaq.
Unusual Machines (UMAC) has clinched a contract exceeding $5 million with Powerus, capitalizing on escalating requirements for domestically sourced counter-drone systems.
The Florida-headquartered component supplier announced it will provide critical hardware for counter-UAS interceptor platforms and 10-inch classification drones to Powerus, which operates under the name Autonomous Power Corporation. Powerus co-founder Brett Velicovich cited component dependability as the deciding factor in vendor selection.
Shipments commenced in April with final deliveries anticipated by late Q2 2026.
Allan Evans, serving as CEO, referenced escalating tensions involving Iran as a catalyst for increased orders. “We’re witnessing the emergence of an entirely fresh market segment for our American-manufactured components,” Evans stated.
Every part included in this contract carries NDAA-compliant certification, satisfying stringent domestic manufacturing stipulations outlined in the National Defense Authorization Act. Such compliance has evolved into an essential purchasing factor among defense-sector drone procurement officers.
The purchase order encompasses two distinct product lines: hardware for counter-UAS interceptor drones and components designated for 10-inch category drone systems deployed in adaptable mission profiles.
The Powerus-AGH Transaction Details
Powerus remains privately held for now. The company has entered into a proposed reverse merger arrangement with Aureus Greenway Holdings (AGH), a move designed to secure Nasdaq listing status.
AGH’s share performance has experienced significant swings. The stock has surged approximately 460% year-over-year, even as financial statements reveal a gross profit margin of negative 68% across the trailing twelve months. Current market capitalization stands near $68 million against annual revenue of roughly $3 million.
Recently, AGH completed a $9 million capital raise via private placement, distributing more than 3 million shares alongside pre-funded warrants priced at $3.00 per unit.
Powerus counts Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. among its investors through their investment vehicle American Ventures. Additionally, retired Lt. General Keith Kellogg, who previously served as U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Ukraine and Russia relations, has accepted an advisory board position with Powerus.
UMAC’s Competitive Positioning
UMAC has established itself as a go-to domestic provider for America’s drone sector during a period marked by increasingly restrictive regulations governing foreign-sourced components.
The enterprise distributes drone hardware through multiple brand channels, notably Fat Shark, recognized for manufacturing first-person view headsets favored by drone operators. The company additionally operates Rotor Riot, an ecommerce platform specializing in FPV equipment.
Data from Fact.MR indicates the worldwide drone accessories sector currently stands at $17.5 billion in valuation with projections pointing toward $115 billion by 2032.
This multi-million dollar Powerus agreement strengthens UMAC’s commercial trajectory as it pursues defense-adjacent clientele demanding compliant American-sourced parts.
Aureus Greenway Holdings underwent recent executive restructuring with ChiPing Cheung relinquishing the CEO role. Cheung has transitioned to leadership positions overseeing Chrome Field I and Chrome Field II, both operating as AGH subsidiaries.
