1 Million Drones a Year — Relentless: How Nuros Is Scaling U.S. Drone Production

A jaw-dropping race to build a million drones per year: Ti Morse and Soren Monroe-Anderson reveal how Nuros went from a garage to a 250,000 sq ft factory plan. (Original ~60-minute episode condensed to ~20 minutes.) Listen to learn the manufacturing lessons, supply-chain moves away from Chinese dependencies, and the technical choices—motors, magnets, radios, and fiber links—that make Nuros’ drones resilient in contested airspace. Soren explains production trade-offs between prototype speed and qualified manufacturing, the recruiting and execution risks of scaling, and why vertical integration (think SpaceX-style electronics factories) matters for U.S. defense and allied resilience. Topics include drones, counter-UAS, autonomy, defense production, and industrial strategy. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
