The US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, signed a memorandum to advance US military drone dominance. The document outlines three objectives: to support the US drone manufacturing base by approving new military products, to equip military units with various low-cost drones, and to incorporate drones into training, including force-on-force exercises. The initiative responds to the significant impact of low-cost drones seen in conflicts, particularly in Ukraine, and aims to improve US capabilities in the unit's combat strategy and operations.
Drones are the biggest battlefield innovation in a generation, accounting for most of this year's casualties in Ukraine. Our adversaries collectively produce millions of cheap drones each year.
The Department of Defense aims to bolster the emerging US drone manufacturing base by approving new US-made products for military usage and arming combat units with low-cost drones.
