AI is transforming drones from remotely piloted tools into increasingly autonomous systems. Cummings Aerospace offers the high-speed, 3D-printed Hellhound loitering munition. Established players like AeroVironment continue to supply systems like the Switchblade loitering munition used extensively by Ukraine. Since 2022, Ukraine has implemented rapid scaling of drone production for 2.5–5 million units annually, a trend that demonstrates the effectiveness of distributed manufacturing in modern warfare. Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) produces the combat-proven Harop loitering munition known for its long endurance and range.
