This expansion may indicate the Pentagon's growing interest in leveraging UAS for various military applications, which could signal a shift in defense priorities and may lead to increased investment in related technologies.
Small Bombers Added To Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Acquisition
The Pentagon’s Drone Dominance program is expanding to include the acquisition of recoverable ‘bomber’ types of uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), according to a defense official. The program, launched last year, aims to enhance drone capabilities and may include small bomber UAS. This development was reported by Aviation Week, citing a defense official speaking at the Michigan Defense Expo.
