Powerus, a US-based drone manufacturer associated with the Trump brothers, has officially gone public following its merger with a subsidiary of Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. This merger allows Powerus to operate as the surviving entity, adopting the name of AGH. CEO Andrew Fox emphasized that the company's focus remains unchanged as it aims to meet customer demands at scale.
Founded in October 2025, Powerus has rapidly secured contracts with the Pentagon, including a notable $2.5 million order for 1,500 first-person view drones. Additionally, the company holds an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with the Air Force for its Guardian-2 counter-drone interceptor, potentially valued at up to $90 million. Internationally, Powerus is also expanding its presence with orders from Pakistan and a production site in the UAE.
The company's ties to the Trump family have raised concerns among some lawmakers, prompting discussions about potential conflicts of interest regarding its Department of Defense contracts. Despite these concerns, Powerus officials maintain that their operations are politically neutral and focused solely on business objectives. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
Editor's Note
The merger of Powerus with Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. highlights the intersection of politics and defense contracting in the drone industry. As companies like Powerus navigate this landscape, the scrutiny from lawmakers may influence future procurement processes and regulatory considerations in defense contracts.
