# Army Expands Drone Marketplace

Army Chief Technology Officer Alex Miller described an Army drone marketplace that has processed more than $800 million in purchases across air, ground, maritime, and counter-drone systems. The Army is also exploring autonomy for logistics and supply delivery beyond combat applications, signaling demand across a broader range of unmanned platforms and supporting technologies. The signal identifies no specific solicitation, deadline, or procurement contact.

- Companies can assess how their capabilities fit the marketplace’s air, ground, maritime, and counter-drone categories, as well as logistics and supply-delivery applications.
- The reported purchase volume indicates an established procurement channel for Army drone systems, but it does not represent a single contract award or guarantee future awards.
- Because no solicitation or deadline is identified, contractors should use this information to inform market positioning rather than treat it as an active bid opportunity.
