Drone Defense: A Rapid Expansion

The articles show strong general counter-drone demand: RTX's counter-drone growth outlook, Ondas' scaling challenges, and market reports projecting drone detection to grow from $1.14B in 2026 to $3.34B by 2031. None of them document specific new contract awards, RFPs or procurement for US military base protection within the six-month window that ended around July 2026, and the market figures suggest steady growth rather than a sharp spike. No article matches the falsification criteria, but the direct evidence for the specific thesis is too thin to call it confirmed.
