Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said the military and defense companies would work together on drone warfare
The US will set up at least two domestic testing ranges that mimic battlefield conditions in Ukraine, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said on Tuesday.
Driscoll said defense contractors would have access to the sites, where the Army and industry “can start to do much more aggressive testing,” according to DefenseScoop.
The US has been struggling to keep pace with rapidly evolving drone technology used extensively by both Russia and Ukraine.
“You can have a kind of electronic warfare and all of the contested environment created, and you can have drone manufacturers and counter-drone tool-builders engaging together,” Driscoll told reporters at an Army-hosted industry event.
“Then, we also want soldiers to be able to go there so that they can strengthen their skills and work hand-in-hand with developers,” he added.
