Powerus
"Building the industrial infrastructure layer for the autonomous world."
Powerus builds US-made heavy-lift VTOL drones and defense mission systems via its Kaizen Aerospace and Tandem Defense subsidiaries.
Powerus, which is also referenced under the name Autonomous Power Corporation, is a US autonomous-systems company headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida. The company positions itself as an "industrial infrastructure layer for autonomy," building hardware platforms and systems architecture for autonomous operations in defense, critical infrastructure, and industrial settings. Powerus operates through several branded divisions and wholly owned subsidiaries. Kaizen Aerospace builds heavy-lift VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft platforms spanning a wide payload range, from roughly 5-pound ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) payloads up to 1,000-pound cargo loads; in July 2026 the company launched an agriculture division under Kaizen Aerospace to apply its heavy-lift drone platforms to farming use cases. Tandem Defense produces modular, US-manufactured mission systems for contested and defense-oriented environments, which the company describes as achieving a 96% mission-success rate in its stated use cases. Agile Autonomy focuses on autonomous maritime systems and unmanned aerial system (UAS) hardening services for sea-domain operations.
Powerus's broader product architecture is organized around capability areas including Heavy-Lift Systems, an Integrated Platforms line built around its xNav GPS-denied navigation technology for operating without satellite positioning, Enterprise Air tactical unmanned aerial systems, Mission Systems for specialized defense applications, Maritime Services covering autonomous surface vessels, and Training & Support for operational deployment. As of mid-2026 the company was reported to be building a comprehensive domestic US drone manufacturing supply chain, and it markets its hardware as NDAA-compliant and US-manufactured, a requirement for many government and defense procurement programs.
According to Crunchbase, Powerus has 11-50 employees and has raised funding across three rounds, with Unusual Machines listed as lead investor and KCGI as an additional investor; Crunchbase also lists the company as acquired by Aureus Greenway Holdings, and separately references PowerAir and PowerSea as division names. Andrew Fox is listed as founder, chairman, and CEO. Public sources reviewed for this profile did not confirm a specific founding year or the company's full street address.
