HASC Adds NDAA Amendments For Reports On Unmanned Projects, Air Force’s 386 Squadron Requirements

摘要

The House Armed Services Committee (HASC) on Wednesday approved a series of amendments to its proposal for the next defense policy bill looking to increase oversight of ongoing unmanned capability efforts, including logistics drones and autonomous, as well as the Air Force’s push to grow to 386 squadrons. “The committee notes the Army is researching technologies that will protect and harden communication networks in contested environments, but is concerned about the integration of these systems relative to the maturity of remotely-piloted vehicles like the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle and the Robotic Combat Vehicle,” Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-Mich.) wrote in his amendment.
