The US/Ukraine need to near-shore and friend-shore sUAV components. The supply chains need to be stress tested. Because if you are getting your GPS module from Sweden, but they are getting their parts from China... what have you really accomplished?

We have a critical minerals problem, compounded by a manufacturing problem, compounded by a materials science problem, multiplied by a subsidized/dumping/cost problem.

The chips act is supposed to address a small part of this. But if all your motors, and capacitors, modules, and boards come from China... what have you really done?
