Army selects interim counter-small unmanned aircraft systems

摘要

The Army announced yesterday the selection of eight interim counter-small unmanned aircraft systems for future investments as the service takes the lead on joint counter-drone technology efforts. An assessment of 40 currently fielded systems was completed in April and the service is in the process of developing a draft capability development document for the effort, Maj. Gen. Sean Gainey, director of the Joint C-sUAS office, told reporters on a call today. The service expects to complete the initial draft of the CDD by the fall that will "serve as a bridge of strategy for our current systems to our objective joint solutions," Gainey said.
