The Army prioritizes electronic warfare in 2024, aiming for backpack capabilities pending budget approval. Drones and counter-drone tech are central in budget requests, with a focus on commercial drones for infantry units. Unfunded priorities include aerial drones, counter-drone tech, and ground robots. The Army plans to advance decoy and obfuscation technologies for electromagnetic spectrum masking. Alterations in procurement aim to expedite delivery of electronic warfare systems. Congress seeks clarification on the use and sustainability of Replicator drones. Meanwhile, the Australian military invests in a $5m laser-based anti-drone system, and US Marines anticipate extensive drone testing.
