Group0:311 through 3 covers small to medium0:33drones. The portfolio also includes most0:36unmanned surface vessels, underwater0:39drones, and the command and control and0:41autonomy software that ties them all0:43together. Two existing offices, the0:46Joint Acquisition Task Force on Counter0:48UAS, known as Jackda, and the Defense0:50Innovation Unit's Replicator effort,0:52will now operate as deputy offices under0:55this single manager.0:57Three executives under the DRPM will0:59report directly to Deputy Secretary of1:01Defense Stephen Feinberg. The Pentagon1:04memo creating the role was issued last1:06week, but the position itself has not1:08yet been filled.1:10Separately, the Global Combat Air1:13Program, the British Italian Japanese1:16sixth-generation fighter project, has1:18been awarded a $6.1 billion contract to1:21finalize its concept phase and begin1:23detailed development.

The GCAP partnership1:35spans the United Kingdom, Italy, and1:37Japan.1:38The now defunct FCAS nations are France,1:41Germany, and Spain.1:43Japan had previously expressed concerns1:45about UK delays on GCAP, but recent1:48British defense investment appears to1:50have allayed those worries. The GCAP1:52agency declared that the future has1:54never been more solid for the program,1:56widely seen as a pointed reference to1:58FK's collapse.2:00This week's NATO summit in Ankara,2:02Turkey, adds another layer.2:05The Trump administration is reportedly2:07considering Turkey's re-entry into the2:09F-35 program and potential US engine2:12sales for Turkey's domestic fighter jet.2:14All of this sets the stage for the2:16Farnborough Airshow in just a few weeks,2:18where Gecap is expected to feature2:20prominently.阅读文章事件时间线HeyDex短视频 ↗
