Travis Metz is the Deputy Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Unit, where he oversees the Drone Dominance program. Recently, he acknowledged that the United States is significantly lagging behind Ukraine in drone production, with Ukraine projected to produce six to seven million small FPV drones this year compared to the U.S.'s ambitious but underperforming production goals. Metz has emphasized the challenges the Pentagon faces in ramping up domestic drone manufacturing, particularly with new regulations requiring the use of American-made components, and expressed hope that the U.S. will eventually become a global leader in drone technology.
