Maj. Gen. Bernard J. Harrington, the new command’s leader, said the goal is to saturate an adversary with enough drones that its forces cannot operate effectively. He described an AI-driven command-and-control system that routes data and matches targets without requiring a human to approve every step.
Harrington said the command will field decoy drones to draw fire and electronic-warfare drones to jam enemy sensors. He added that each drone type must operate as part of a larger family of systems rather than in isolation. He declined to name specific drone models but said the Army is working with multiple vendors to close the gap between long-range sensing and long-range strike.
Gen. U.S. Army Pacific, said the Pacific theater spans distances comparable to Western Europe and includes jungle, desert, and Arctic environments. He said soldiers will test the systems in each setting and provide feedback based on operational needs.
