According to reporting by Heather Somerville and Amrith Ramkumar in The Wall Street Journal, Pentagon officials and the Office of Strategic Capital have been engaged in discussions with multiple drone manufacturers regarding potential financing structures that could include debt and equity investments tied to national security supply chains.
