Can Trusted Partners Help Secure U.S. Drone Supremacy?

Please join the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) for a virtual discussion on trusted drone manufacturing, resilient supply chains, and the future of defense industrial cooperation.

As the Department of Defense works to develop secure trusted supply chains for drones, policymakers and industry leaders are increasingly debating how to balance security, affordability, and scale in drone production—and whether trusted international partners can help strengthen U.S. manufacturing resilience.

Clayton Swope, deputy director of the CSIS Aerospace Security Project, will be joined by Soufiane Ammagui, visiting fellow with the CSIS Aerospace Security Project and founder of a drone company called AeroDrive, to discuss allied drone manufacturing ecosystems and the challenges of producing low-cost drones at scale.

This event is made possible by general support to CSIS.
