The Pentagon is pursuing every available option to keep US troops safe from the rising tide of adversary drones, including a robotic twist on its standard-issue small arms.
However, ACS officials claim that the system can operate totally autonomously should the US military require it to in the future, with sentry guns taking the entire kill chain out of the hands of service members and freeing them up to focus on other, more mission-essential tasks.“Our system is fully autonomous-capable, we’re just waiting for the government to determine its needs,” Brice Cooper, ACS’s chief strategy officer and a Green Beret veteran who previously served as head of US Special Operations Command’s counter-drone program, tells WIRED.“Legacy systems in our category are just not there yet.
In January, three US service members were killed in a drone attack on a military outpost in Jordan near the Syrian border, an incident that the Pentagon later determined had occurred because American forces there lacked the appropriate capabilities to defend against incoming drone threats.“The threat landscape has become hyper-accelerated,” Cooper says.“A year ago, nobody was really concerned about the small drones that are destroying all kinds of armored vehicles in Ukraine.
