The market is now only focused on one thing:


👉 2027 US#军费 $1.5 trillion.
So the consensus is quite simple:
Increase in military spending → rise in drones → #AI rise → everyone can share a piece.
But I want to say something that might not sound very pleasant:
Money never gets distributed evenly.
It only flows to those—
already embedded in the core of combat systems.
The essence of this $1.5T,
is not “buying more planes and missiles.”
But paying for the following:
Perception (who sees first)
Decision-making (who judges first)
Communication (who is not interfered with)
Autonomy (who doesn’t rely on humans)
Mass consumption (who can repeatedly use cheaply)
In other words:
It’s not about who has the coolest technology, but who is “irreplaceable.”
What I care more about is not
👉 who can “ride on” the budget,
but
👉 who is already in the combat closed loop, with the budget flowing naturally.
Here are some typical directions (not to encourage you to rush, but to help you understand where the money flows):
$PLTR
Many still think it’s “government software stocks.”
But in modern warfare,
who controls decision speed, ranks at the top of the budget.
$ONDS
After drones become autonomous,
communication is no longer just a supporting element,
but—the prerequisite for being able to go to the battlefield.
$AVAV / $KTOS / $RCAT
mature, verified, consumable.
When the warfare scenario shifts from “high-value equipment” to “high-frequency consumption,”
the priority of these platforms will automatically rise.
$NOC / $RTX / $LMT
system-level players’ advantage zones.
Unmanned systems will ultimately be embedded into larger defense architectures,
not exist independently.
The real watershed is here 👇
The market is asking:
👉 who can benefit from larger military budgets?
What I care more about is:
👉 who has already been “locked in” by the system, and can’t help but spend?
History has repeatedly proven one thing:
When the nature of warfare changes,
money will never go to “the most cutting-edge technology,”
but to those—
already stuck at key nodes within the combat closed loop.
If you could only choose 2–3 directions,
would you bet on:
Platform-level integrators?
Or those underlying capabilities that no one notices, but if they fail, the entire line collapses?
This might be
the biggest cognitive gap in the military-industrial sector in the coming years.
