The Pentagon's $75 billion drone portfolio just got a single boss — and no one has been named yet
Defense Secretary Hegseth signed a memo on June 29 centralizing nearly every unmanned systems program under one office reporting to Deputy Secretary Feinberg. Two weeks on, the chair is empty.
O que sabíamos inicialmente
- The DRPM-UxS office covers UAS Groups 1–3, ground vehicles, nearly all sea vehicles, and autonomy software; reports to Deputy Defense Secretary Feinberg.
- Replicator and the Joint Acquisition Task Force on Counter-UAS will operate as deputy offices under the DRPM.
Então ainda em aberto
- Who will be named to lead the office, when they will start, and what budget authority they will hold over the services.
- Whether the military departments will route drone acquisition funding through the DRPM or preserve parallel programs.
O que dissemos que iríamos acompanhar
- The Pentagon's choice for the DRPM-UxS director and the FY2027 budget submission, which will reveal how much of the $75 billion portfolio the new office actually controls.
