Your IP. Our European factory.
Zero Chinese parts.
Sensitive drone hardware demands sensitive manufacturing. Dronehub produces in Europe on a fully non-adversarial supply chain — for defense primes, sovereign infrastructure programmes, and regulated industries that can't ship their bill of materials to Shenzhen. NATO-allied production with the audit trail to prove it.
In plain English
What is sovereign-supply-chain manufacturing?
Sovereign supply chain means every component in the bill of materials is sourced from countries the customer's procurement rules permit. For US DoD and most EU defense programmes, that excludes China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea — covered foreign entities under NDAA Section 848 and similar instruments. Dronehub manufactures in Poland with a zero-China bill of materials.
It is the opposite of the “designed in California, manufactured in Shenzhen” model that dominates consumer drones. For regulated buyers — defense, energy, critical infrastructure — sovereign origin is not a marketing feature; it is a procurement prerequisite that decides whether a bid is even eligible.
The facility
$7.5M production line at Jasionka, Poland.
Built inside Aviation Valley — Poland's aerospace cluster, home to engine manufacturers and supply networks that have served NATO programmes for decades. The line is fully online as of 2025, partly funded by a $2.75M grant from the Polish government's economic-development agency after a full technical and financial review. The due diligence on Dronehub is already done; you inherit it.
What we build
From single airframes to full drone-in-a-box deployments.
Whether you bring your own IP, license ours, or want a managed build of the reference designs — the same line produces all three.
Custom drone airframes
From a single prototype to small-batch production. CNC machining, sheet-metal, composite layup, integration, and end-of-line testing under one roof. Carbon airframes, aluminium structures, and hybrid composites all in scope.
Charging & docking infrastructure
Stationary and mobile autonomous-charging stations. Drone-in-a-box reference designs in continuous production. Whether you bring your own IP or license ours, the same line builds both.
Electromechanical assemblies
Subsystems for OEMs: docking mechanisms, battery-swap modules, sensor pods, ground-station controllers, ruggedised compute boxes. Engineered for harsh environments, audit-ready manufacturing records.
Components & sub-tier production
Specialty components to your spec — mechanical, electronic, embedded firmware. Useful for primes consolidating sub-tier suppliers onto a single non-adversarial source, instead of managing dozens.
Production technologies
The equipment, the tolerances, the audit trail.
We run the same production line that built our R&D programmes. Your work goes onto the same machines, with the same inspection bar, and the same chain-of-custody records.
CNC turning & milling
Okuma + Haas · 0.01 mm precision
Genos M660 and M560 milling centres, Haas TM1-P, Okuma LB 3000 EXII lathe. Hard alloys, aerospace aluminium, titanium, plastics. The same line that produces our funded R&D programmes — available for your designs under spec.
Fiber laser cutting & engraving
Eagle eVision 4 kW · up to 20 mm metal
Production-grade fiber laser for sheet stock, structural members, brackets, and engraved part identification. Throughput high enough for serialised defense components. Tight edge tolerances ready for downstream finishing.
Press brake bending
Trumpf TruBend 3100 · up to 3 m parts
Large-format sheet bending for chassis, enclosures, and structural panels — including parts too long for typical drone-only manufacturers. Reduces sub-assembly count and weld points on integrated structures.
3D printing
Prototyping & small-batch
FDM and resin printers in-house for fast iteration on housings, fixtures, and jigs. Bridges the gap between design changes and the next CNC run — useful during the prototype/pilot phase of your programme.
CMM inspection
Aberlink Horizon 800 · 1.75 μm
Coordinate-measuring machine for first-article inspection and per-batch QA. Plus Accretech Surfcom Touch 50 profilometer and 3D scanning. Inspection records issued with every build — audit-ready out of the box.
Supply chain
Engineered to pass federal-procurement diligence on day one.
The four claims below aren't marketing copy. They're the questions your procurement officer will ask — and the answers we've built the line around.
Zero components from China or sanctioned states
Every line on the bill of materials sourced from NATO-allied or otherwise non-adversarial jurisdictions. We engineered the supply chain upstream so it stays clean — and we publish the audit.
NDAA Section 848 compatible
Supply chain designed against the covered-countries rule from day one. Suitable for federal procurement that excludes adversarial-origin components — no late-stage substitutions, no risk of disqualification.
EU + US data sovereignty
Engineering data, build records, and chain-of-custody hosted in EU and US jurisdictions only. No telemetry, no design files, and no operational data leaves allied infrastructure.
Full chain of custody
Per-unit serial-numbered traceability from raw materials through final assembly. Every component logged, every operator signed. Audit-ready for defense and regulated industries on request.
Who builds with us
Companies that can't ship sensitive BOMs to Shenzhen.
Defense primes
Need NATO-allied production for sensitive subsystems but can't bring it in-house in time. Bring it to us — your IP, our line, federal-procurement-compatible delivery.
Companies with their own IP
You've built the design. Shipping it to Shenzhen isn't an option (regulatory, IP risk, or customer requirement). We build it in Europe under your spec, with full audit trail.
Sovereign infrastructure programmes
Energy grids, border systems, critical rail, telecommunications. Drone hardware deployed inside national infrastructure needs a sovereign supply chain — not a sticker-on-the-box claim.
Federal contractors
NDAA Section 848 and the covered-countries rules are tightening. Our supply chain was engineered against these constraints. You inherit the compliance, not the rework.
How it works
Brief to delivery in 12–24 weeks.
- 01
Capability brief
We send our manufacturing portfolio — production-line specs, certifications, recent build references, indicative pricing ranges. You evaluate fit before committing to a deeper conversation.
- 02
NDA + design review
Your IP, our engineering team. Design-for-manufacture review, materials selection, build-cost estimation, risk register. We flag issues early — when they're cheap to fix.
- 03
Quote + timeline
Firm pricing and production timeline for prototype, pilot run, or full production. Structured for the lifecycle — you keep the IP, we run the line.
- 04
Build
Production at Jasionka with full audit trail. Optional embedded program manager — on-site or in your time zone. Per-unit serial tracking, weekly progress reports, escalation path on speed dial.
- 05
Sovereign delivery
Logistics handled inside allied jurisdictions. NDAA-compliant supply-chain documentation included with delivery — usable directly in federal-procurement programmes.
Get started
Manufacturing where it matters.
Send us the design files — or a description, if you're still scoping. We'll come back with a manufacturability review, an indicative quote, and the supply-chain audit package. Factory visits in Aviation Valley are welcomed and frequent — see the line and the team in person.
