The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has announced a sweeping consolidation of all unmanned and autonomous systems (UAS) under a newly established Direct Reporting Portfolio Manager, signaling a decisive step toward maintaining America's strategic edge in the rapidly evolving drone domain.
The new office is designed to unify the development direction of unmanned systems across all military branches, eliminate redundant resource allocation, and accelerate the research, development, and deployment of related technologies. Through this centralized management structure, the DoD aims to respond more effectively to an increasingly complex unmanned threat environment while enhancing the overall readiness of U.S. autonomous combat systems.
Note: Details from the original source are limited at this stage. Further updates on the full policy framework and organizational structure are expected.
The move is widely regarded as a significant step in strengthening the U.S. government's drone defense strategy, and reflects the growing critical importance of unmanned and autonomous systems on the modern battlefield.
