⚡ Government Convergence
Active government convergence in this signal’s sector right now.
Over the last 90 days, 124 separate government actions have converged on Drones / Counter-UAS. What that means: federal dollars are already moving — agencies are soliciting bids and awarding contracts, not just talking, and legislation and executive action are building the policy and funding tailwind behind it. When independent channels move together like this — 97 procurement notices, 13 federal contracts, 8 bills, 4 patents, 1 executive actions and 1 SEC filings — it's the clearest early tell that Washington is committing to drones / counter-uas, the kind of build-up that reshapes the sector well before it's obvious in the headlines.
