The product lines that define the company for research purposes:
- Counter-UAS system
- Guardian counter-UAS interceptor
This profile is qualitative by design. It carries no share price, no price target, no valuation multiple, and no rating — those change faster than any page can honestly track, and the filings linked below are the authoritative source for them.
Powerus drone lineup
The current public product record does not identify a complete aircraft lineup.
No complete-aircraft offering is catalogued for this company; it is tracked here as an unmanned-systems enabler.
Statuses are editorial classifications from the company’s current public catalog: active means currently presented for sale, delivery, or program work; development means publicly disclosed but not a mature production offering; legacy means retained for historical or installed-fleet coverage.
Recent contracts & awards
A dated log of the specific contracts, orders, funding, and deployments reported for Powerus, each tied to its primary source. This is a record of what was announced — a "selection", "award", or "partnership" is not the same as obligated money, so read each source before treating a figure as revenue. No figure appears here unless a source reported it.
- Powerus unveils fully autonomous Guardian 3 drone interceptor at AUSA 2026
On Oct. 12, 2026, Powerus unveiled Guardian 3 at the Association of the United States Army's annual meeting. Company president Brett Velicovich described it as a fully autonomous successor to the semi-autonomous Guardian 2 that, when cued by radar, launches toward a threat and uses AI and navigation systems to detect and strike it.
This is a product launch, not a contract award: the source discloses no customer, order, or dollar value, and the cited 'demand signal' from the Pentagon is the company's own characterization.
Researchers should treat the autonomy and performance claims as unverified until independent test results appear, and should check Powerus's post-merger SEC filings (merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings completed Oct. 1) and official DoD contract announcements for any actual Guardian 3 orders.
Defense News — original report - Powerus Receives $82M U.S. Order for Counter-Drone Systems Under Existing Contract
The U.S. government placed an $82 million order with Powerus for counter-drone systems, support equipment, training, and field support under an existing contract, with deliveries scheduled over the next several quarters. Powerus did not disclose the specific quantity or system configurations, though it stated the hardware will be manufactured domestically in compliance with NDAA sourcing requirements.
Researchers should verify the award against official Department of Defense contract digests or company regulatory filings to confirm the specific buying agency and the timing of obligated funding.
Counter-drone systems — original report - Powerus announces $82 million counter-UAS order under existing U.S. government IDIQ contract
On October 5, 2026, Powerus Corporation announced an $82 million order for counter-unmanned aerial systems, marking the second order issued under an existing indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract with an unnamed U.S. government agency.
The scope covers NDAA-compliant systems produced in the United States along with ancillary support equipment, operator training, and field service representative support, with deliveries scheduled over several quarters.
Because Powerus did not disclose the purchasing agency, contract ceiling, unit pricing, or firm delivery completion dates, analysts should confirm official federal procurement notices to verify obligated funding and binding program terms.
Stock Titan: Powerus Awarded $82 Million Order for Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems - Report cites undisclosed Pakistan Army order for POWERUS drones tied to $22.3M contract
Media reports indicate an undisclosed Pakistan Army order involving POWERUS drones following a reported $22.3 million U.S. contract tied to Pakistan military leadership.
Because details regarding the prime contractor, exact procurement vehicle, and obligated funding are limited in the reporting, researchers should verify the award against official defense contract archives and relevant company disclosures before treating the figure as confirmed revenue.
Military drones — original report - Powerus Reports $22.3M Counter-UAS Deal for Middle East Critical Infrastructure
Powerus announced a $22.3 million contract to supply phased, networked counter-UAS detection, tracking, and early-warning systems to an unidentified private oil and gas company in the Middle East. The scope includes baseline command-and-control integration and contractor operating personnel, with provisions to later incorporate Powerus's Guardian interceptor technology.
Because the buyer is an undisclosed commercial entity rather than a public government procurement office, researchers should monitor company financial disclosures for delivery timelines, export approvals, and revenue recognition before treating the full headline figure as realized revenue.

As reported by Energies Media, Powerus secured a $22.3 million contract to deploy its counter-drone detection and tracking system—covering hardware, software, installation, and 24 months of maintenance—at an undisclosed energy facility in the Middle East. The customer's identity and specific sites were not disclosed.
Researchers should verify the contract figure and scope against any future Powerus/Aureus Greenway Holdings filings or official disclosures to confirm deal status and revenue recognition.
Counter-drone systems — original report - Powerus Begins Guardian Counter-UAS Manufacturing in the Gulf
Powerus announced manufacturing of its Guardian counter-UAS interceptor line at a dedicated facility in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, through a multi-year partnership with an unnamed regional defense manufacturer. Guardian is described as a U.S.-designed interceptor built to defeat one-way attack drones and other low-cost aerial threats.
Powerus retains design, engineering, and technical standards, while the regional partner supplies manufacturing capacity, positioning production closer to Gulf customers to shorten delivery timelines. The same announcement confirmed that Aureus Greenway Holdings, the Nasdaq-listed company Powerus is merging with to go public, changed its ticker to PUSA ahead of the combination.
The merger's Form S-4 registration was declared effective by the SEC on August 12, 2026, with closing expected in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals. Powerus remains a private company until that merger closes.

Is Powerus going public?
Powerus is a private company pursuing a public listing through a merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker PUSA. The SEC declared the merger's Form S-4 registration effective on August 12, 2026, and the companies have guided to a close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals.
The deal is not guaranteed to close on that schedule or at all. Powerus itself carries no ticker until the combination closes.
Where Powerus sits in the value chain
Powerus is an enabler: it supplies inputs to the companies that build complete systems, so its demand is spread across many platforms instead of concentrated in any single program.
Its disclosed activity spans counter-UAS, aerial drones. That placement is the single most useful thing to fix in your head before reading any coverage, because the same headline means different things at different layers: a large platform award is transformative for a pure-play, material but diluted for a diversified contractor, and only indirectly relevant to a component supplier whose exposure arrives later as build-rate demand.
Retail coverage routinely applies one story to all three layers at once. For the layer-by-layer comparison across the sector, see the drone stocks research shortlist and the list of publicly traded drone companies.
What to watch
The signals worth tracking are structural, not price-based — they tell you whether the business is changing shape, which is what eventually shows up in the numbers.
- Track new contract awards with energy utilities and governmental agencies in regions facing high drone threats.
- Watch for technical disclosures about system architecture, detection sensor types, or effectors, especially in regulatory filings or export approvals.
- Monitor partnerships and integration deals with defense contractors or energy infrastructure firms.
- Follow any regulatory or geopolitical developments affecting counter-drone sales and deployments in the Middle East.
- How the completed October 1, 2026 merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings is reported in the first post-merger SEC filings, since audited disclosure only begins with those filings.
- Whether the Gulf regional manufacturing partner is named, and whether Guardian interceptor deliveries from that facility are confirmed separately from the earlier $22.3 million Middle East energy-infrastructure contract.
How to research Powerus
Every question below has one authoritative source, and using the wrong source is how most retail research goes wrong.
| Research question | Where the answer lives | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| How much of this is really drones? | Segment tables in the annual filing | Whether unmanned systems are reported as their own segment or buried inside a larger one. |
| Is the revenue repeatable? | Revenue-recognition policy and backlog discussion | Recurring sustainment, services, or subscription language versus one-time hardware sales. |
| Is a win real money? | Official DoD contract announcements | Contract type, awarding command, and whether the amount announced is obligated or a ceiling. |
| Can the balance sheet fund the plan? | Liquidity discussion and share-count disclosure | Dilution history and cash runway relative to the manufacturing scale-up being promised. |
- The reported $22.3 million contract win for a counter-UAS system underscores Powerus's operational focus on energy infrastructure protection in the Middle East (source).
- Powerus began trading on Nasdaq as PUSA on October 1, 2026 after completing its merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings; earlier research on it as a private company predates that listing, so read the post-merger SEC filings for audited figures.
- No technical details or operational metrics for the Counter-UAS system are available from the primary coverage. Additional technical validation should be sought from official customer statements or regulatory assessment reports.
- Specific information on client lists, system capabilities, and full program scope remains limited in public records.
One failure mode is worth naming explicitly: a company announcement describing a "selection", "award", or "partnership" is not the same as obligated money, and the two are easy to conflate because they use the same vocabulary. Check the official record before treating either as revenue. Our full approach is documented on the methodology page.
