Built for Supply Chain Security

As federal, state, and local agencies phase out foreign-manufactured unmanned systems, American supply chain security has become mission-critical. Forge & Flight Holdings delivers vertically integrated capabilities ensuring complete domestic sourcing, rapid deployment, and long-term operational sustainability.

Integrated Aerospace Capabilities

Through specialized operating companies, Forge & Flight Holdings provides comprehensive support across the unmanned systems lifecycle—from design and manufacturing through testing and operator training.

Platform Development

Custom unmanned aircraft systems design, advanced composite manufacturing, and mission-specific integration with complete NDAA Section 848 compliance and verifiable domestic supply chains.

Electronics Manufacturing

NDAA-compliant avionics, power distribution systems, and aerospace electronics with domestic component sourcing, PCB fabrication, and complete traceability documentation.

Flight Test Operations

Dedicated test range infrastructure, developmental flight testing, and mission validation services with professional Range Safety Officer oversight for rapid iteration cycles.

Technical Training

Operator development, capability assessment, and professional training across unmanned systems operations, field sustainment, RF communications, and mission planning.

Why Vertical Integration Matters

The displacement of Chinese-manufactured drones has exposed critical vulnerabilities: fragmented supply chains, foreign component dependencies, and lack of integrated support. Our vertically integrated approach addresses these challenges directly.

Supply Chain Security

Domestic electronics manufacturing ensures NDAA compliance and Blue UAS Framework eligibility without external dependencies or foreign component risks.

Rapid Development

Integrated test infrastructure eliminates facility access bottlenecks that extend competitor development timelines by 12-24 months.

Complete Solutions

Platform delivery includes operator training and sustainment support—ensuring mission readiness, not just hardware delivery.

Cost Efficiency

Internal component manufacturing and shared infrastructure enable competitive pricing for state, local, and university customers.
