Senator Ted Cruz and a group of lawmakers have introduced the SkyFoundry Act of 2025, which would establish a major drone production facility at Red River Army Depot in Texarkana, Texas.
The bill aims to boost U.S. defense capabilities by allowing the depot to develop and produce drones for the Department of Defense, helping the U.S. compete with countries like Russia and China.
The project has strong local support, with leaders from Texarkana, the Chamber of Commerce, and TexAmericas Center praising the plan for its potential to bring jobs, innovation, and investment to the region.
If approved, the facility could produce up to one million drones annually and serve as a national hub for defense manufacturing.
