The explosive-carrying drone is known as a kamikaze weapon because of its one-way mission. One of the more well-known examples is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2022\/10\/11\/switchblade-kamikaze-drone-production-to-ramp-up-following-ukraine-use\/\" target=\"_blank\">AeroVironment\u2019s Switchblade<\/a>, which the Pentagon has supplied to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Col. Mike Parent, division chief for acquisition and resources in the Army\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2022\/10\/11\/army-counter-drone-office-recommends-3-teams-to-protect-installations\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Joint Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System Office<\/a>, said the threat of loitering munitions is a high concern for his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe one-way attack is something that we have been told again and again by [combatant commands] and the services that this is something that is evolving,\u201d he said during an Oct. 12 briefing at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s annual conference in Washington. \u201cWe must, therefore, evolve with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service is poised to issue a formal request for ideas, or white papers, from industry in the next week or two, Parent said, noting that the aim is to move quickly to respond to proposals and demonstrate the technology. The work will focus on countering threats from Group 3 drones, a class of small UAS that weigh between 55 and 1,320 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have an aggressive timeline,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to put that request for white papers out and we\u2019re going to expect industry to come back very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is the U.S. Department of Defense\u2019s executive agent for counter-UAS work and the Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office, created in 2019, works closely with the other military services to shape requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maj. Gen. Sean Gainey, JCO director, said during the same Oct. 12 briefing that defending against one-way attacks is just one piece of the Pentagon\u2019s layered approach to countering threats from UAS. The war in Ukraine has validated the strength of that approach, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think what we\u2019re learning is pretty much what we already knew . . . it takes a layered approach,\u201d he said. \u201cYou leverage your air defense systems, you leverage your counter-UAS [electronic warfare systems] and you leverage whatever counter-UAS kinetic effectors you have to be able to get after the threat. Because the threat ranges.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The service plans to solicit industry ideas in the coming weeks and aims to move quickly to demonstrate the
