DefenseScoop reported in February that the service proposed <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> 600 for the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Air Force Vice Chief Gen. James Slife, who spoke on a panel with Bush, said the service has ideas for future Replicator proposal rounds, but those efforts weren\u2019t ready for the first tranche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Air Force has got several compelling programs in the pipeline that could be considered,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re not quite as technologically mature as some of the army programs that are going to be in round one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks unveiled Replicator last August, and the department has since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2024\/03\/11\/pentagon-says-1-billion-planned-for-first-two-years-of-replicator\/#:~:text=For%20the%20first%20time%2C%20Pentagon,August%202025%20to%20counter%20China.\" target=\"_blank\">requested $1 billion from Congress <\/a>to execute the program fiscal 2024 and 2025. While the initial focus is on autonomy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2023\/11\/30\/defense-innovation-unit-to-host-replicator-technology-summit\/\" target=\"_blank\">the effort\u2019s broader goal<\/a> is for Replicator to become a repeatable process the Pentagon can use to push a range of capabilities to military users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, the department is funneling money toward existing programs to either help them move faster or ramp up production quantities and is selecting new efforts proposed by the military services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaganfoundation.org\/reagan-institute\/centers\/peace-through-strength\/national-security-innovation-base-program\/\" target=\"_blank\">A March 19 report from the Reagan Institute<\/a> praised the department\u2019s pursuit of Replicator and recommended full funding for the effort, but highlighted broader concerns with the Pentagon\u2019s ability to translate U.S. innovation into national security capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere has been a lot of activity in the last year as it relates to national security innovation, as it relates to harnessing and capturing that innovation for our national security goals,\u201d Rachel Hoff, policy director at the Reagan Institute, told reporters ahead of the report\u2019s release. \u201cThat activity has not necessarily translated into progress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mac Thornberry, former chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and now a member of the Pentagon\u2019s Defense Innovation Board, said the high-level leadership Hicks has put behind Replicator is a sign of progress within the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo me, the most amazing thing about Replicator is the deputy secretary put it on her shoulders to say, \u2018I\u2019m responsible for this,\u2019\u201d he said during the conference. \u201cIt\u2019s like a pass-fail on herself. And that sort of accountability is exactly the sort of thing we need to change the culture, to take more risks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army acquisition chief Doug
