Vulcan produces rare earth magnets using allied-sourced materials.
The Army's one-million-drone annual target and Vulcan Elements' competitive NdFeB supply selection create a demand-linked growth path, while Niron's planned rare-earth-free actuator showcase is a named alternative for Army applications. On September 23, 2026, the U.S. Army selected Vulcan Elements to supply high-performance NdFeB magnets for its small-drone initiative. The initiative aims to produce one million drones per year in the United States.
On October 2, 2026, Moog and Niron Magnetics said they would exhibit together at AUSA 2026 to show rare-earth-free actuator solutions for land vehicles, guided munitions, and other Army applications.
