- New US proclamation imposes tariffs of up to 100% on imported drones, raising costs for foreign-made systems used by defense and security buyers.
- Drones over 25 kilograms or with thermal imaging face a 100% tariff, covering docking stations and critical components; most rules start within 21 days.
- Smaller drones without security-sensitive features face a 25% tariff, extending to other drone components.
- JFB has a pending all-stock combination with XTEND; the shift may boost demand for domestically manufactured, NDAA-compliant drones.
