MP Materials launches Project Swarm to coordinate US drone magnet demand and lock in domestic capacity

MP Materials launched 'Project Swarm' to aggregate rare earth magnet demand from U.S. and allied drone, robotics, and motor makers. The program aims to reserve future production capacity at its Northlake, Texas plant to mitigate foreign supply-chain risks. Participants gain priority access without binding commitments, providing MP with demand visibility for investment ahead of expanded 2027 DFARS requirements.

MP Materials launched “Project Swarm” to aggregate rare earth magnet demand from U.S. and allied drone, robotics, and motor makers. * Program aims to reserve future production capacity at its planned 10X magnet plant in Northlake, Texas, citing foreign-controlled supply-chain risk. * Structure allows participants to hold priority access without binding purchase commitments, giving MP Materials demand visibility to invest ahead of need. * Multiple drone companies have signed term sheets to join; initiative targets domestic NdFeB magnet supply ahead of expanded 2027 DFARS requirements.
