With the launch of the Midwest UAS Test Site, Indiana is uniquely positioned to develop and manufacture the drones of the future and help unleash American drone dominance.
Appreciate the partnership with @DeptofWar and @SecArmy to make Indiana a national leader in drone testing and development.
Wednesday, @SECNAV Hung Cao, many other top @DeptofWar leaders, and I attended the Northeast Indiana Defense Summit, where Hung delivered outstanding keynote remarks.
Under the leadership of @POTUS and @SecWar we have torn down bureaucratic red tape to deliver Soldier-ready products faster. There in Indiana, I was honored to announce two brand new ranges that will be part of our innovative test range concierge service (testrange.army.mil) to Camp Atterbury and Muscatatuck.
Thanks to @SenatorBanks, @SenToddYoung, and @NationalGuardIN for driving this capability for the Army and for our industry partners.
Warfighting modernization at the speed of American innovation right here in Indiana.
In 1911, the Johnson brothers of Terre Haute designed, built, and flew what is recognized as the first successful monoplane in the U.S. More than a century later, an unbroken line connects their Hulman Street workshop to Indiana's latest aviation leadership as a federal drone test site based in Terre Haute.

“Americans need U.S.-flagged ships to carry goods through hostile waters, but the U.S. has allowed its Merchant Marine to dwindle to the point that it can no longer play that role…the United States must rebuild its sea power, not just its naval power.”
Congress needs to pass my SHIPS Act now to restore America’s sea power and maritime strength.

Drone technology critical to our national security will be built and tested in Indiana. Our skilled Hoosier workforce and research institutions will help unleash American drone dominance.

Today in Terre Haute, we officially launched the Midwest UAS Test Site of Indiana, one of only nine federally designated drone test sites in the nation.
Working with @GovBraun, I helped spearhead the effort to locate this site in our state. With our world-class research institutions, defense assets, manufacturing capabilities, and skilled workforce, Indiana is uniquely positioned to develop and manufacture the drones of the future and help unleash American drone dominance.

Thank you to @SenToddYoung for joining us today in Fort Wayne at my 5th Annual Northeast Indiana Defense Summit 🇺🇸
Thank you to @SenatorBanks and his team for hosting the fifth annual Northeast Indiana Defense Summit in Fort Wayne, bringing together leaders from across government, military, and industry.
I appreciated the opportunity to highlight the important role Hoosiers are playing in America’s national security. The technologies that will defend our freedom and protect our people are being built in Indiana.

.@SenToddYoung: “Indiana is stepping forward to keep our nation safe, we’re doing our part. In fact, America’s hard power is being built right here in the Midwest by Hoosiers.”
Today we recognize our brave first responders who are on the front lines every day protecting Hoosiers. Thank you for all you do to keep our communities safe.

Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor has been awarded $11.2M through @MARADgov’s Port Infrastructure Development Program to modernize cargo handling, including equipment to support future container service. Thank you @SenToddYoung, @GovBraun, @SenatorBanks, @SecDuffy, and @RepMrvan! Read here: portsofindiana.com/2026/10/2…

What does it take to prepare the next generation to lead a free society?
At the @ReaganInstitute’s recent #RISE2026 summit, Senator @SenToddYoung made the case that civic education is about more than understanding how government works – it’s about developing the character, humility, and respect needed to sustain our democracy.
Today, we celebrate the bravery and hard work of the men and women who guard our seas and protect our freedoms. Thank you all for your service to our country.
Our team attended the groundbreaking for HealthLinc’s new clinic at Opportunity Enterprises in Valparaiso, which will expand access to dental services and provide individualized care for Hoosiers with disabilities. Great to see this innovative approach to health care for all Hoosier patients.
Today, we recognize and honor our service members mobilized around the globe. Thank you to those deployed and their loved ones for their sacrifices to keep our nation safe.
I helped secure more than $11 million in federal funding from @USDOT modernize the port at Burns Harbor in northwest Indiana. Indiana’s location along the Great Lakes gives our state a unique advantage in moving goods, and this investment will expand shipping operations and support American commerce. Thank you to @SecDuffy for his partnership in supporting this important project.

I write in @IBJNews about how the Great Lakes states can lead the way on drone development.
The Midwest is the America’s Autonomous Heartland, where the systems that will guard our security and grow our economy will be designed, tested and built.

Bob Knight was a basketball genius who made a tremendous impact on the players he coached, the IU community, and the entire state of Indiana.
Today, a stretch of State Road 45/46 near Assembly Hall was renamed Bob Knight Memorial Way. Our team joined the Knight family and community leaders in Bloomington to honor Coach Knight’s legacy.
