The military is kept secret what models of drones will be purchased for the US Army. However, there is information that these will be unmanned aerial vehicles with fixed wing and jet engines. Open sources are known to be that the American technological company Kratos Defense produces BQM-167A drone, designed to provide realistic comprehensive training in air defense units. The company also produces a new generation of BQM-177A, which can move at a speed above 0.
95 Mach and has a height above sea level of only 2 meters, which significantly complicates its detection by radars. According to the developers, these two models provide a striking emulation of modern unmanned threats in the air and serve as excellent training goals for air defense forces. Contract work is expected to be completed by July 2028. In general, Kratos Defense has proven to be a reliable partner of the US Armed Forces in the field of unmanned air goals.
In March, the US Air Force concluded a $ 21. 7 million contract with the BQM-167A for full-scale production of BQM-167A. The US Army is also constantly buying BQM-177A drones to train the air defense forces on its navy. We have already said that Kratos Defense is actively working on the secret project of the huge Damogorsgon drone. This is an internal name for the XQ-58 drone program. It can install an expensive sensor to detect goals.
