Powerus has begun producing its Guardian counter-unmanned aircraft system interceptors in the Gulf Cooperation Council region through a multi-year manufacturing partnership. The arrangement allows Powerus to retain control over design, engineering, and technical standards while leveraging a regional partner’s production capacity. All activities comply with U.S. export control laws and authorizations.
The initiative targets rapid deployment of interceptors against one-way attack drones and low-cost aerial threats. Local manufacturing is intended to reduce delivery times compared with shipping finished systems from the United States, addressing evolving regional security demands.
Powerus, listed on NASDAQ under the ticker PUSA, confirmed the production launch in a statement issued Monday. The company is also advancing a proposed merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. (AGH), which changed its Nasdaq symbol to PUSA in anticipation of the combination. The business combination’s registration statement became effective on August 12, 2026, with completion targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, pending customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Upon completion, AGH will adopt the name Powerus Corporation.
Powerus co-founder and President Brett Velicovich emphasized the urgency of local production, stating that threats evolve faster than logistics timelines. “Producing close to our allies means they get interceptors at the pace the threat actually moves, not the pace logistics allows,” he said.
