Demand is pulled, first and foremost, by conflict and threat exposure rather than commercial maturity. The dominant gravitational center is the war in Ukraine and Iran’s Shahed campaign, which set the terms for what governments are now urgently buying: cheap mass, layered counter-UAS, and autonomy.
01

02

Iran’s Shahed-136/238 family recurs, driving a global race in attack mass and the interceptors needed to defeat it.
03
