Wales could become Britain's home to the growing industry in pilotless spy planes, with the potential to create 1,000 jobs.
As many as 230 jobs are promised in the medium term on a west Wales business park.
The £21m investment aims to turn Parc Aberporth in Ceredigion into a centre of excellence for developing the planes, which are also used increasingly for civilian purposes, such as monitoring traffic jams.
Work will begin later on Monday on creating a 50-acre hi-tech focus for aerospace companies.
