Questions & answers

Why "infrastructure, not aircraft"?

“Drones can fly themselves until they need to land, charge, dock, and resupply — which is where autonomy actually breaks. Our IP sits at that infrastructure layer: mobile and stationary charging stations, docking, and package logistics.”

What is a capability statement?

“A capability statement is the one-page summary a government program office or defense prime uses to evaluate a vendor — what we do, what makes us different, what we have already delivered, and how we comply with federal supply-chain rules. Dronehub's covers autonomous drone infrastructure IP, counter-UAS and public-safety autonomy, hybrid UAV-UGV systems, and sovereign EU manufacturing.”

Is Dronehub US-owned?

“Yes. Dronehub Inc. is a US-owned small business, fully US-owned through founder Vadym Melnyk's EB1A approval, with sovereign European manufacturing in Poland's Aviation Valley.”

Is Dronehub SBIR/STTR-eligible?

“Yes. Dronehub is eligible to compete as a small-business prime across SBIR/STTR pathways and adjacent federal innovation programmes (AFWERX Open Topic, DIU CSO), and is Section 848 / 889 / 1260H compliant by design.”

Who founded Dronehub?

“Vadym Melnyk founded Dronehub in 2015 in Poland's Aviation Valley (Rzeszów). He is a 3× Forbes honoree (Forbes Poland 25/30 Under 25/30 and Forbes Ukraine 30 Under 30) and is EB1A-approved.”

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.”

What does Dronehub manufacture, and for whom?

“Custom drone airframes and subsystems, mobile and stationary charging and docking infrastructure, electromechanical assemblies, and sub-tier components and parts. We build for defense primes, companies with their own IP, sovereign infrastructure programmes, and federal contractors — partners who need sensitive hardware produced in Europe and can't ship their bill of materials to Shenzhen.”
