With Operation Epic Fury Continuing, Vector Ramps Up Efforts to Build Drone Manufacturing Capabilities in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — Today, Utah Governor Spencer Cox released a video where he showcased the state’s leadership in America’s domestic defense industrial base alongside a Hammer F1 drone built in Utah by Vector, a modern warfare-as-a-service company and drone manufacturer. 

As seen in the video, Governor Cox took to the statehouse steps with Vector’s Hammer F1 drone with a call to action for Utahns to get back to manufacturing here at home in the face of growing threats in the world. 

As Operation Epic Fury against the Iranian regime rages on, the Governor continues his hard work to champion the state as a defense manufacturing hub, including American-made drone manufacturing. 

"Governor Cox understands what's at stake and is taking action," said Andy Yakulis, CEO and Co-Founder of Vector. "Utah has built something special here — an ecosystem that can move fast, leverage American talent, and better serve the men and women who protect this country. At a moment our warfighters are sacrificing so much, Vector is proud to be in the fight by delivering our nation’s brave service members the capabilities they need to win.”

Vector exemplifies the vision Governor Cox describes in the video: it leverages America’s talented technical workforce, builds with strong U.S. supply chains, and delivers cutting-edge systems at the speed and sophistication that modern conflicts demand. Watch it here.
