Advanced artificial intelligence software enables it to identify other unmanned aerial vehicles and engage them in combat. It attacks other drones and knocks them out of the sky with a direct physical collision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis decision puts kinetic [counter-small] UAS capability into the hands of our troops immediately,\u201d Army Brig. Gen. Matthew Ross, JIATF-401 director, said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/290392\/jiatf_401_acquires_advanced_kinetic_counter_drone_system_to_enhance_warfighter_lethality\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/290392\/jiatf_401_acquires_advanced_kinetic_counter_drone_system_to_enhance_warfighter_lethality\">statement.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Bumblebee V2 provides a cost-effective, reliable interceptor that can neutralize threats without endangering our own forces or surrounding infrastructure. On the modern battlefield, where drones are a constant threat, having a low-collateral kinetic option is not just an advantage; it is increasingly becoming essential for protecting our forces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Direct physical strikes on unmanned aerial vehicles, known as \u201chard kills,\u201d can produce a blast radius and scatter sharp debris when munitions are used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a drone-on-drone strike, the Bumblebee minimizes these risks. Having one flying drone tackle another eliminates the need for bullets and potentially harmful explosions. This potential could see the Bumblebee used efficiently in urban areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the system is compliant with updated regulations in the National Defense Authorization Act, which has strict requirements for the use of foreign components. Drones with NDAA compliance, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2026\/02\/06\/us-marine-designs-corps-first-ndaa-compliant-3d-printed-drone\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2026\/02\/06\/us-marine-designs-corps-first-ndaa-compliant-3d-printed-drone\/\">HANX<\/a> drone developed by the U.S. Marines, can be adopted for military use with immediate effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s Global Response Force will assess the system in support of the Lt. Gen. James M. Gavin Joint Innovation Outpost, a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/290149\/fort_bragg_opens_lieutenant_general_gavin_joint_innovation_outpost\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"

and private industry to develop and test new technology. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Army\u2019s Global Response Force will begin assessing the Bumblebee V2 drone
