The US Army is rethinking its approach to drones and looking to "unman unmanned" aircraft. The aim is for drones to be able to fly more easily from anywhere with fewer people involved. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe US Army is aiming to "unman unmanned" aircraft operations, as one of its top generals likes to say, and that process involves developing the ability to fly drones easily from more places with fewer people in the mix. That could include employing AI to help troops fly UAVs and make decisions in real time, too. But even with the move toward this future for Army drones, there's potentially still opportunities for older models to serve a purpose.

"The long-term upside of providing Ukraine with the MQ-1C is significant," lawmakers wrote. C. Mark Brinkley, a spokesperson for General Atomics, told Insider that lawmakers are right to argue that Ukraine could put the drones into service soon after receiving them. "We believe it would be a game-changing decision to send Gray Eagles to support the Ukrainian defense."

The US is considering modifying the powerful Gray Eagle drone for Ukraine, CNN reported. Two unnamed officials told CNN this week that the US was investigating how to change the components in the Gray Eagle, or MQ-1C drone. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the US had declined the request for the Gray Eagle. But both Ukrainian and US officials told CNN since then that discussions were continuing. "These are very expensive systems and there are concerns that they could be shot down," an unnamed official told CNN.
