🇺🇸⚡️ — The U.S. Army is creating a new Futures and Autonomous Systems Command (FASCOM) and appointing a dedicated acquisition executive to accelerate the development, purchase, and deployment of autonomous military systems, according to Axios.

The initiative will integrate autonomous capabilities across at least six types of Army formations, including aviation, armor, sustainment, and training units.

Priority areas include autonomous fires, combat vehicles, watercraft resupply, breaching systems, surveillance, and targeting.

The Army will also expand specialized unmanned-systems personnel across more units.
