Army May Cancel Two Planned UAVs To Ease Congestion Over Battlefield

摘要

The U.S. Army may cancel two of four unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) planned for its Future Combat Systems (FCS) in response to fears that the skies above tomorrow's battlefield are getting too crowded with helicopters, drones and airborne munitions. The fate of the aerial drones rests with officials who are studying the Army's UAV needs, said Maj. Gen. Charles Cartwright, who manages the service's $165 billion top-priority FCS program.
