$82 million U.S. order for Powerus counter-drone systems Copy link
Powerus announced an $82 million order for counter-drone systems, the second order under an existing U.S. government contract. The order is not yet on USAspending, so how much has been obligated is not public.
Awarded to Powerus by U.S. government (buyer not named by the company)
Tie Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are partners in American Ventures, which lent Powerus $5.55 million, holds warrants for 9.9% of it and backed the listed company it merged into; the March 2026 merger announcement named both brothers as notable investors. Eric Trump says he is a passive investor.
