Order Helps Powerus Scale Production of Autonomous and Counter-Drone Systems to Meet Growing Demand
ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / October 22, 2026 — Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American: UMAC), a leading manufacturer of NDAA-compliant drone components, today announced that it has received a $16.9 million purchase order from Powerus Corporation (Nasdaq: PUSA), a U.S. defense technology company focused on autonomous and unmanned systems.
