US ke Defence Department (DoD) ne ek bada initiative shuru kiya hai, jiske liye $54 billion ka budget rakha gaya hai. Is "Drone Dominance" competition ke zariye US military chah raha hai aerial warfare ko hi badal dena. 18 mahine chalne wale is program ka maqsad hai ghar ke hi manufacturers ko pehle-pahal pehle laana jo hazaro autonomous aur semi-autonomous drones (UAS) bana saken. Ye drones sirf surveillance ke liye nahi, balki precision-guided munitions bhi honge—matlab inko "flying bombs" bana diya gaya hai jo high-intensity combat mein kaam aayenge.
