Pakistani Defence Firms Seek Powerus Ties on Drone Motherships and USVs
Pakistani private defense firms are seeking direct cooperation with U.S. drone supplier Powerus after it signed a memorandum of understanding with Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence and received an initial order in September 2026. Companies are interested in its drone mothership technology and in Blue Sky technology for converting vessels into uncrewed surface craft. One industry representative said their company was seeking an introduction through the Pakistan Army and wanted access to prototypes. The outreach comes as Pakistan’s military draws on domestic companies to expand drone production, including work on loitering munitions, interceptors and the data links needed to operate them.
