US Department of Defense Seeks Companies to Demo One-Way Attack Drones

The US Department of Defense has announced plans to conduct an evaluation event for unmanned one-way attack drones as part of the Drone Dominance Program. The program aims to acquire $150 million worth of drones and will involve military operators flying and evaluating the devices. As part of this initiative, 25 companies have been selected to demo their drones, with the final contract award expected in five months. This move may signal a shift towards increased investment in drone technology, potentially benefiting defense contractors and the broader aerospace industry.
