Manufacturers Anticipate Price Increases Amid Sourcing Challenges and Tariff Changes
A significant 94 percent of manufacturers are planning to increase prices in 2027, with two-thirds indicating that forecasting pricing has become more challenging compared to the previous year. Factors such as raw materials, labor, and fluctuating tariffs are contributing to this uncertainty, pushing procurement teams to rethink their sourcing strategies. The ongoing tariff debate often centers on the location of part production, yet the real bottleneck lies in the assembly and testing processes that follow manufacturing. With approximately 44 percent of small manufacturers operating below 70 percent capacity, there is an opportunity to enhance domestic production capabilities, particularly in robotics, where demand is surging. Looking ahead, the focus should shift towards financing small and midsize manufacturers to develop subassembly and testing capabilities. This would ensure that domestic parts can be transformed into fully operational machines, rather than merely reshoring components without addressing the underlying bottlenecks.

Navy and Shield AI Invest $300 Million in X-BAT Drone Development
The Navy and Shield AI have announced a joint investment of $300 million into the development of the X-BAT vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) drone. This funding includes a $150 million modification to an existing agreement under the Pentagon’s Defense Exportability Features program, matched by Shield AI's own capital. This investment builds on an earlier $100 million in funding, which includes $50 million awarded by the Navy’s Rapid Capability Cell and the Defense Innovation Unit for the X-BAT program. The combined investment of $400 million aims to create a drone capable of long-range strikes with minimal infrastructure, addressing the Navy's need for unmanned aerial systems that can launch from smaller vessels. Flight testing for the X-BAT is scheduled for later this year, with production set to take place in the Seattle area and testing at Newton City-County Airport in Kansas. Shield AI has employed 500 engineers to support the project, which features a range of over 2,000 nautical miles and is marketed as the world’s first AI-piloted VTOL fighter jet.
