U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced the creation of the Direct Reporting Portfolio Manager for Unmanned Systems (DRPM-UxS), consolidating nearly all Pentagon drone and autonomous systems programs under a single office reporting to Deputy Secretary Stephen Feinberg. Backed by a $53.7 billion budget, the office will oversee R&D, procurement, deployment, and maintenance of unmanned systems across air, land, and sea domains.
