Drone Dominance Initiative Seeks To Enhance Combat Readiness
The Pentagon is set to order 30,000 one-way attack drones as part of its Drone Dominance initiative, with the first winners to be announced over the next few days. The drones, which were tested by US military operators at Fort Benning, Ga., will be delivered to military units over the next five months. The initiative aims to enhance combat readiness and provide military units with a new capability. The Pentagon anticipates spending $150 million in phase one, with the goal of reducing prices to $2,000 per unit over the lifetime of the effort.
