First Breach Inc., an American-made defense technologies company focused on vertically integrated ammunition production and next-generation unmanned aerial systems, is advancing its Hagerstown manufacturing expansion as federal investment and procurement priorities reinforce demand for domestic defense production. The Company believes this shift reflects a lasting national security priority that extends beyond any single policy cycle.
The Pentagon’s roughly $1 billion Drone Dominance Program, announced in December 2025, aims to buy hundreds of thousands of American-made drones and is designed to give industry a steady, long-term demand signal. The program’s second phase, which takes effect this year, restricts motors and battery systems from covered countries.
“For 20 years, manufacturing decisions defaulted to building overseas because it was cheaper,” said Jeffrey Low, CEO of First Breach. “Basing decisions on cost alone is now over. One area where this country has decided it will no longer depend on foreign factories is the production of ammunition and drones for its own military and its own agencies’ needs. That is what reshoring looks like today, with U.S. manufacturers directly benefiting from billions of dollars in new contracts and investments in facilities and workers to meet increased demand.”
