Tested in the war in Ukraine: the US will include new drones in the Replicator (Photo)

According to the publication, the Replicator defense program is aimed at accelerating the deployment of cheap autonomous systems. According to the Pentagon, the project is planned to be replenished with air and naval drones, as well as integrated software, which will increase the autonomy and stability of other systems.

Among the drones that are planned to include in the Replicator are mentioned by Ghost-X from Anduril Industries, Performance Drone Works C-100, as well as secret drones that include "low-range shock devices and marine drones". According to the edition, Ghost-X and C-100 are already part of the program made of small unmanned aerial vehicles at the level of the US Army Company. In addition, Ghost-X drones are used by the Armed Forces servicemen from the first weeks of a full-scale war in Ukraine.

"Ukraine has demonstrated the value of small, easily impressive battles on the battlefield," said US Army General Randy George. It is reported that Ghost-X collision with advanced Russian rebers helped anduril develop opposition methods that can be used against China. For example, according to the source of the publication, the company has developed retarding networks that allow swarms of UAV to exchange data even in conditions of strong obstacles.

The high level of autonomy of drones also helps them to avoid the influence of HRBs and rockets. "Suppose I pass the message, and suddenly the Russians launch a rb. The drone can say," Well, I was expecting it. I'm not even going to go to spare positions. I'll fly here. I will go to where their muffler - which I can triangel - will no longer affect my connection.

"So you get all these networks that physically change their geometry to be resistant to obstacles," - explained the interlocutor of the publication. We will remind, the representatives of the Pentagon estimated the cost of the project Replicator, saying that the defense initiative will cost $ 1 billion. It was also reported that Replicator faced a number of difficulties, in particular the program requires the introduction of innovation, and the Pentagon is not always ready to support them.
