Even more drastically than in the civil sector, the dual use rankings saw ranking shifts by practically the entire list. A grand total of 19 out the top 20 drone manufacturing companies shifted position, with only two of them losing ranking and the remaining 17 climbing positions. Though it is worth mentioning that the disqualification of two of the top 5 companies from 2022 played a significant role in these shifts. Nevertheless, many companies still experienced an astounding rise in their rank, with the biggest climbers being Tekever (Portugal, +15), Asteria Aerospace (India, +14), and Brinc (USA, +12).
In terms of countries represented, the majority of top dual use drone manufacturers are based in the United States (6). The remaining 14 are relatively evenly-distributed across Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, India, Israel, Portugal, Switzerland, and Ukraine.
