Reston, Virginia

You are invited to participate in the 2026 Military Drone Procurement Expo, a special event designed to connect companies producing drones and anti-drone technology with the U.S. military and its buyers.

​

The U.S. military is operating under a newly approved Fiscal Year 2026 Defense Appropriations Bill that allocates approximately $9.8 billion for autonomous and unmanned systems. This funding is part of a broader $13.4 billion investment strategy for autonomous warfare, an extremely urgent priority for the U.S. military.

​

At the Expo, find out about $9.4 billion earmarked for aerial platforms; $3.1 billion for counter-drone technology; and the drone procurement programs of the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and various U.S. military units.

​

The Expo will include a Drone Vendor Exhibition Area; Matchmaking Sessions; and Presentations on the $13.4 billion for drones and anti-drone technology.

​

Register now as a Drone Vendor Exhibitor. Exhibit space is expected to sell out immediately.

Or register now as an Expo Sponsor, which will provide your company with an extensive array of visibility and promotional benefits!
