also served in many ways,” Deb elaborates.“ We have a high population who truly understand what it means to be on the battlefield. This experience is a competitive advantage both for our customers and our employees. We’ ve tried to become the employer of choice for people who are mission-driven for national security, and that has helped us greatly in terms of retention.”
In an ever-increasingly tumultuous global political climate, warfare requires continuously evolving strategies and approaches. Fortunately, PDW is armed with the capabilities to stand above the ordinary standards of innovation, transforming the future of defense with its high speed, scalable manufacturing model. As 2025 steadily draws to a close, PDW is poised for another successful year – one defined by efficiency, dynamism, and a strive to go where others can’ t to keep soldiers safe on the frontline.
“ We’ ve had to develop a whole manufacturing system that can pivot and evolve on the fly; we can’ t ship prototypes, so everything we deliver must be fast iteration, which puts us in a challenging position because this has never been done before. It means that Deb must constantly pivot, retrain her staff and keep a culture of excellence, but I think that that’ s what makes us very different to everyone else. A typical manufacturing facility may make one product on a line that runs for years; our products last for a few months before they need to be changed again. It’ s what’ s needed to keep drones on the frontline, and is absolutely what’ s necessary to win tomorrow’ s wars,” Ryan affirms.
“ Looking to the future ahead, we want to be the dominant home of small drones for the US and its allies,” he concludes.“ We’ ll continue to develop combat systems that are far beyond the capabilities of our enemies.” ■
