The United States Armed Forces have seen success in recent years in meeting recruiting goals, and even as the Pentagon has pivoted towards instilling a “warrior ethos” culture, it isn’t overlooking the fact that manpower alone won’t win future conflicts. Unmanned systems will also play a vital role, and to that end, this week, the Department issued a call to industry to aid in the initiative to produce around 300,000 drones “quickly and inexpensively.”
It is part of Secretary Pete Hegseth’s effort to meet the “drone dominance” goals that President Donald Trump laid out earlier this year.
In June, Trump signed the “Unleashing American Drone Dominance” executive order, which outlined how the United States “would up its drone game,” in both the commercial and military sectors. That also called for the delivery of massive amounts of inexpensive, American-made, lethal drones to U.S. military units, which would “amplify their combat capabilities” and serve as a force multiplier.
