PDW opens Drone Factory 01 in Huntsville to scale tactical drone production

Aug 20, 2025 · Facility Opening · PDW · Defence

  • PDW opened Drone Factory 01, a 90,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Huntsville designed to bring design, manufacturing, flight test, and delivery under one roof.
  • The site is built for full-rate production of the C100 and AM-FPV, with stated monthly capacity of 350 C100s and 5,000 AM-FPVs.
  • It matters because the facility gives PDW a visible domestic production base and supports its claim that it can deliver tactical drones at scale rather than only in low-volume batches.

PDW develops small unmanned aircraft systems for defence users. Its C100 platform is built around portable tactical flight, ISR payloads and mission durability for field operations.
