Well Loyal Wingman are gonna be deployed and controlled by Attack Helos. https://www.imeche.org/news/news-article/bae-system-s-strix-drone-could-be-loyal-wingman-for-military-helicopters

I found this on the interwebs.

Because the bulk of the US Government is not made up of evil people. It is just made up of people from all walks of life. That is why.

Yep like I have said in other threads. Things like Hypersonic Aircraft and shipborne Lasers were already being extensively tested in the late 80s and early 90s. The later I saw tested with my own two eyes in the Carribbean Test Range.

You know if they removed the turret from a M1A1 and replaced it with a heavy Vulcan cannon and some Radar. It would be one helluva Anti Drone platform.

Cheap and disposable bots that can be cranked out in the thousands. That is the path. They would not even be suggesting it unless they made a breakthrough in AI tech the general public knows nothing about. It is not the first time advanced tech was being fielded decades before it is officially...

The low Enlistment numbers are pushing them to go in this direction. I am just the messenger.

DARPA is already going the route of AI Death Robots to occupy territory. They have stated as much. The DOD in the end want infantry that don't need to sleep and can stay on patrol 24/7.

Our ship trained to hit aircraft with the 5 inch gun as an option. Math still rules in combat. You fire where the target is gonna be.

The Vulcan can hit a target 2 miles away and the 5 incher can hit targets over 12 miles away. plenty of room to nail a drone.

You will always have more bullets and shells than you will have missiles.

One of the Burkes had to expend a not small amount of anti air missiles to defeat just one drone swam heading for a Tanker. That is not cost effective in the long run.

Tell that to the Houthis. They attacked one Tanker like that.

I have a hunch that the forward CIWS mount on the Burkes will once again have a Vulcan Phalanx. in the spot. The Big Wigs are seeing that all missile CIWS can't handle the Drone Swarms on a cost basis.

We know from the Ukraine Russia War and the current conflict with the Houthis. That drones are being used to soak up modern Air Defense Missiles. The common tactic is now to send up a swarm of drones at a target forcing the Target to expend million dollar missiles. Using a Million Dollar Missile...
