The Middle East conflict has turned drones into a constant presence in daily headlines, not just military briefings. Iran has fired off waves of drones and missiles across the region, striking targets in Israel and the Gulf countries and forcing defenses to adapt in real time.
Oil routes, airspace, and critical infrastructure now sit under the shadow of inexpensive unmanned systems that can be launched in large numbers and are challenging to stop. That kind of pressure naturally pushes more attention toward companies trying to build homegrown drone capacity for the United States and its allies.
