Global Ordnance and Sparkz target US drone battery production in 2027

Global Ordnance Holdings and Sparkz agreed to establish a US-sourced and domestically manufactured battery supply chain for military drones, with production targeted to begin in early 2027. Their master supply arrangement initially targets approximately 210,000 battery packs, covering an important component needed to scale American uncrewed-aircraft manufacturing. The companies intend to reduce reliance on imported battery materials and cells while providing a predictable supply for defense applications. The agreement describes planned industrial output and supplier cooperation, not batteries already delivered or a completed government purchase of the entire quantity.
