American Marconi Wireless News - Unusual Machines Secures $5M+ Order from Powerus for Counter-UAS Systems

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / April 21, 2026 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC), a leading manufacturer of NDAA-compliant drone components, today announced a $5 million-plus order from Autonomous Power Corporation, doing business as Powerus, to supply U.S.-made components for counter-UAS systems and related drone platforms.

The order includes core components used across both counter-UAS interceptor systems and 10-inch class drones, reflecting growing demand for flexible, domestically produced platforms that can be deployed across multiple mission sets.

Deliveries are scheduled to commence in April and are expected to be completed within the second quarter.

"The conflict in Iran has highlighted the global need for NDAA-compliant counter-UAS," said Allan Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Unusual Machines. "This is an entirely new market for our U.S.-manufactured parts, and we are proud to support Powerus as they build and deploy these systems where they're needed most."

Powerus develops drone systems for modern operational environments, including counter-UAS applications. Powerus recently announced a proposed merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:AGH).

"I've seen firsthand how quickly drone threats evolve and what happens when systems fail in the field," said Brett Velicovich, Co-founder of Powerus. "We chose to work with Unusual Machines because they can deliver components we trust in real-world conditions."
