Domestic Manufacturing Achieves Major Milestone in Drone Technology
A US Army drone powered by motors assembled by the Army’s Organic Industrial Base has set a world record for endurance, flying for over 8 hours in the desert heat. The achievement was made possible through rapid, collaborative on-site manufacturing and highlights the Army’s efforts to build secure, domestic supply chains for critical defense technologies. The record-breaking flight was achieved during the Game of Drones 26-2 demonstration at Edwards Air Force Base, California, as reported by an unknown source.
