DALLAS, May 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Saxon Unmanned has selected IGCS International and its strategic partner Lacks Enterprises to deliver high-volume, 100% USA-made production of its flagship UAV platforms: Monitor VTOL, VIPER, Atlas, and Titan.
This strategic partnership immediately accelerates output at IGCS's fully domestic Grand Rapids, Michigan facilities — an 80,000 ft² advanced composites center, seven injection molding plants with 115+ machines (250–4,400 tons), four electroplating lines, and three high-volume painting & finishing facilities producing over 60,000 parts per day. The result: dramatically faster production rates, significantly lower costs, and uncompromising Made-in-America quality.
Pairing Saxon Unmanned' s rugged, long-endurance airframe designs with IGCS's world-class composites, molding, plating, and finishing expertise, the alliance is now scaling delivery for multiple UAV platforms.
"Saxon Unmanned chose IGCS and Lacks for one reason: they deliver the fastest, highest-volume USA production in the industry," said John Ferguson of Saxon Unmanned. "We will be manufacturing the Monitor VTOL, VIPER, Atlas, and Titan at scale — lighter, stronger, more affordable, and 100% American-made."
"This partnership fulfills the requirements of USA MADE for America's Drone Dominance program with rapid, reliable domestic manufacturing," added Russ Spears, President of IGCS International. "IGCS and Lacks are proud to serve as Saxon's high-volume production engine — and we have massive available capacity ready for more partners. We invite every forward-thinking drone manufacturer to bring your designs to our Grand Rapids facilities and scale production faster and more affordably than ever before."
The alliance strengthens U.S. supply chain security, reinforces American manufacturing supremacy, and meets the urgent demand for unmatched unmanned aircraft superiority. IGCS International and Lacks Enterprises are actively seeking additional unmanned systems partners ready to launch at full speed with proven, high-capacity domestic manufacturing.
