Pentagon Says Over 25,000 Drone and Counter-Drone Systems Delivered to CENTCOM

 

The U.S. Department of War announced Wednesday that more than 25,000 drone and counter-drone systems were delivered to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

The deliveries were made by the Pentagon's Direct Reporting Portfolio Manager for Unmanned Systems (DRPM-UxS), a structure the military implemented to speed development, procurement, and fielding of unmanned systems [1]. The announcement follows Hegseth's September announcement of the Autonomous Warfare Command, and the Pentagon cited "Under Secretary Hegseth's direction" as it moves "at the speed of modern combat" to equip forces [1].

Deliveries Include Counter-Drone Systems, Attack Drones, Vessels

More than 24,000 counter-unmanned aerial systems were delivered through Joint Interagency Task Force 401, the Pentagon said, describing the systems as capable of creating a "multi-layered defensive shield" to protect U.S. forces against enemy drone attacks.
