Part 8/9:
Currently, the U.S. is at a strategic disadvantage due to its dependence on foreign drone technology, particularly from China. Establishing a robust domestic drone manufacturing sector that can produce small and competitive drones for military applications is imperative. Similar to how steel was critical in World War II, the ability to manufacture high-quality drones at scale could determine future military success.
The time to innovate is now. A proactive approach to military doctrine and technological adaptation can help the U.S. and NATO stay relevant and effective in a world where drone and missile technologies dominate the battlefield.
