US Drone Manufacturers & Developers

Group, powertrain & morphology reflect ALL platforms a firm produces; a filter matches every firm producing ANY such platform. Dot color = powertrain family only when ALL of a firm's platforms share one family; firms spanning families show as "mixed" (mauve). Dot size = the largest UAS group produced. One dot per site — never duplicated per powertrain. Coverage caveats: firm universe = 265 US-primary AUVSI firms; registry-visible (federal-contractor) firms resolve at higher rates than consumer brands — see coverage_bias_crosstab.csv. City-level points are approximate and excluded from district shading. Every site carries a source link. Patents omitted for diversified conglomerates.
