Defense Speak Interpreted: Will Defense Become a Totally New Supplier for Drone Electronics?

08/04/2026 | Dennis Fritz -- Column: Defense Speak Interpreted
When I read recently that Tobyhanna Army Depot would begin manufacturing up to one million circuit cards annually for military drones, I immediately wondered whether this opens a whole new chapter of volume electronics manufacturing within Defense. Historically, Defense has had access to some aspect of printed circuit production. My research confirmed what I already knew from my own experience as a subcontractor to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane in Indiana. Locations such as Robins Air Force Base, NSWC Crane, Picatinny Arsenal, and Redstone Arsenal may be involved in some form of prototyping and manufacturing circuit boards and assemblies, but it’s all on a limited scale and meant to support legacy aircraft and weapons.

In this interview, Summit CEO Shane Whiteside and Vice President of Technology Gerry Partida reflect on Summit's 10th anniversary, the pride they take in what they've built, and the enthusiasm they still bring to the business as they celebrate this milestone.
