Unusual Machines Secures $1.6 Million Order for Aura Cameras and HDO+ Goggles to Support U.S. Defense Supply Chain
ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / August 19, 2025 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC), a provider of NDAA-compliant drone components, today announced a $1.6 million purchase of Fat Shark Aura cameras and HDO+ goggles placed by a domestic defense drone manufacturer. The components will be delivered through the U.S. defense supply chain, reinforcing Unusual Machines' role as a trusted supplier of compliant equipment. The Fat Shark Aura cameras are included in the Blue UAS Framework, confirming compliance with Department of Defense and NDAA standards. The HDO+ goggles offer high-clarity optics with the largest field of view of any analog FPV headset currently on the market, allowing operators to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios without narrowing the field of vision. Production will begin immediately, with initial deliveries scheduled for the end of September and the remainder completed by December. "This order represents a milestone for Unusual Machines and, importantly, reflects the trust our customers place in us to deliver large quantities of critical components," said Allan Evans, CEO of Unusual Machines. "By keeping cash reserves strong, scaling inventory ahead of demand, and strengthening our supply chain for larger volumes, we can execute quickly and reliably. This mindset allows us to accelerate delivery, ensure dependability, and expand manufacturing so more drone capability is built in the United States." Today's announcement reflects the growing scale of opportunities for Unusual Machines. While this order will ship from existing production lines, the upcoming U.S.-based manufacturing facility for HDO+ goggles underscores the company's long-term strategy to onshore even more production, keep pace with government demand, and deliver the capacity needed for future growth.
