MyDefence Opens U.S. Counter-Drone Production Facility in Oklahoma City

Bringing Plug-and-Play, Mission-Ready Counter-Drone Capabilities to U.S. Defense and National Security

MyDefence officially opened its U.S. counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) manufacturing and innovation facility in Oklahoma City on February 26, solidifying our North American production footprint. By producing C-UAS technology on U.S. soil, we guarantee speed and access to the end user and a secure supply chain.

“Establishing this facility in Oklahoma City reflects our continuing commitment to strengthening America’s defense industrial base and supporting the U.S. Army, and domestic production ensures our U.S. military, National Guard, and homeland security partners have reliable, fully plug-and-play, mission-ready counter-drone capabilities when and where they need them” – William (Bill) Ostrowski, President and CEO of MyDefence North America.

Drone threats continue to evolve in complexity, range, and frequency, driving increased demand for agile and scalable counter-UAS. By bringing advanced C-UAS production within the U.S., we contribute to a more secure and responsive defense manufacturing ecosystem. Domestic production reduces dependency on extended supply chains and supports compliance with U.S. procurement and security standards.

“Our team of military veterans and defense experts design counter-UAS with frontline operators in mind. These wearable and mobile technologies give operators the mobility, situational awareness, and flexibility they need to respond quickly to evolving drone threats, protecting missions, communities and critical infrastructure worldwide.” – Bill Ostrowski, President and CEO of MyDefence North America.

Our Oklahoma City expansion supports high-skilled roles across engineering, manufacturing, integration and operations. We intend to collaborate with regional partners to support workforce development initiatives and contribute to Oklahoma’s growing aerospace and defense talent pipeline.

Addressing Growing Drone Threats

Military and security agencies continue to face an increasing number of drone threats. These systems now appear in conflicts, border regions, and near critical infrastructure. Drones vary widely in size, range, and capability. Some carry cameras for surveillance. Others may disrupt operations or pose safety risks.

As a result, defense organizations seek counter-drone systems that can deploy quickly and adapt to changing threats. Portable and mobile tools have become especially important for frontline teams and rapid response units.

We focus on wearable and mobile C-UAS technology designed for operators working in the field. These systems aim to provide early detection and response options while allowing personnel to remain mobile.

Our Oklahoma City facility will help meet rising demand for these types of systems. Domestic production also reduces reliance on long international supply chains.

MyDefence Chooses Oklahoma City

Gov. Kevin Stitt, who attended the dedication of the new MyDefence operation, said the arrival of MyDefence follows a record year of new investment in Oklahoma that in 2025 totaled $14.6 billion.

Stitt credited the state being ranked fourth in affordability, as well as advantages in quality of life, and labor costs.

Stitt said “MyDefence, Fort Sill, Tinker Air Force Base, the FAA, OU and OSU are combining with employers like MyDefence to create a defense industry ecosystem in central Oklahoma.”
