Mobilicom Limited (NASDAQ: MOB), a provider of cybersecure solutions for drones and robotics, has engaged a U.S.-based contract manufacturer to establish its first domestic manufacturing operations in Phoenix, Arizona. The move is part of the company’s strategy to increase and onshore production of its proprietary cybersecure datalink products, with initial U.S.-manufactured products expected by the end of 2026. The initiative is designed to meet growing customer demand, reduce delivery lead times, and strengthen supply chain resilience.
The expansion builds on Mobilicom’s presence in the U.S. defense market, including the integration of its technologies into a Tier-1 drone platform selected for a U.S. Department of War Program of Record. Its National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)-compliant solutions have also been included in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) initial Trusted Drones exemptions and the Department of War Blue UAS Framework. The company expects its domestic manufacturing capabilities to support larger-scale deployments and additional market opportunities in 2027 and beyond.
For investors, the announcement signals Mobilicom’s commitment to scaling production and capturing a larger share of the growing drone and robotics market. By onshoring manufacturing, the company aims to mitigate supply chain risks and better serve U.S. customers, particularly in the defense sector where domestic sourcing is increasingly prioritized. The establishment of U.S. manufacturing operations could also enhance Mobilicom’s credibility with government and commercial customers, potentially accelerating adoption of its cybersecure datalink solutions.
The news comes as the drone industry faces heightened scrutiny over cybersecurity and supply chain integrity. Mobilicom’s NDAA-compliant and FCC-trusted solutions position it well to address these concerns. The company’s technologies are already deployed globally with over 50 customers, including the world’s largest drone manufacturers, and are used in mission-critical functions. The U.S. manufacturing expansion is expected to further solidify its foothold in the defense and commercial markets.
