Future Of Battlefield Operations Takes Shape With Autonomous Systems
The US Army is pushing forward with its autonomy plans, including the reflagging of the Futures and Autonomous Systems Command. According to Army Chief Technology Officer Alex Miller, autonomous technology will support a wide range of military operations, from battlefield protection to logistics and supply chain management. A drone marketplace has already handled over $800 million in purchases, expanding beyond Army unmanned aircraft to include ground, maritime, and counter-drone systems. The Army’s autonomy push is part of the Pentagon’s wider effort to integrate autonomous systems into military operations, as reported by Breaking Defense.
