Low-cost drones have proven effective weapons in conflicts, notably in Ukraine, prompting the U.S. military to escalate its counter-drone efforts. The Marines recently conducted live-fire training on a new anti-drone system, MADIS, designed to identify and thwart drone threats. This development reflects a broader Pentagon strategy focused on integrating drone countermeasures across various military branches, showcasing the significant impact of inexpensive, off-the-shelf drones on modern combat and the need for responsive military tactics and technologies.
"Some of the character of warfare is changing right now," Col. John Lehane, commander of the 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment, emphasized, noting the necessity for adaptation to avoid strategic setbacks.
The Pentagon's new counter-drone strategy aims to coordinate military branches in countering unmanned systems, highlighting the urgency of reassessing existing combat tactics.
