Pentagon Announces New Round of Aerial and Maritime Drones for Replicator

Washington: The Pentagon unveiled a new round of aerial and maritime drones for Replicator, a massive effort to fast-track the delivery of unmanned weapons systems to the services. This includes a batch of multiple drones from the Army’s company-level small unmanned aerial system, or UAS, program. The service had selected the Ghost-X, made by Anduril Industries, and the C-100, made by Performance Drone Works.

In a release, the Pentagon said these will offer versatile weapons for the units in the field, useful for targeting or surveilling the enemy.

Replicator will also include Anduril’s Altius-600, a one-way attack drone on contract with the Marine Corps, and the enterprise test vehicle, or ETV. The latter drone has long been rumoured as a Replicator candidate, with requirements like a 500-nautical mile range that fit the program’s parameters.
