The Pentagon's new JIATF-401 task force, led by Brig. Gen. Matt Ross, is creating an "Amazon-like marketplace" for counter-drone equipment. This initiative will help US military bases and federal agencies rapidly acquire technology to combat the growing threat of drone incursions over domestic installations and borders.

EDGE Group and Anduril are launching a major UAE-US joint venture to produce next-generation autonomous systems, starting with 50 Omen autonomous air vehicles. This partnership combines Anduril's Lattice AI software with EDGE's regional manufacturing to accelerate the UAE's sovereign capability in advanced drone technology.

Anduril Industries has begun flight testing its YFQ-44A Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) for the U.S. Air Force, achieving first flight just 556 days after initial design. The semi-autonomous fighter drone is designed to operate alongside crewed aircraft, marking a fundamental shift in air combat strategy through affordable mass and advanced autonomy.
