The US Army is preparing to introduce a centralized online marketplace designed specifically for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The initiative aims to streamline how troops access and procure drones, replacing slow and complex acquisition procedures.
According to the service’s Program Executive Office (PEO) for Aviation, the new platform will operate with an interface similar to Amazon, enabling users to sort and filter drone models based on factors such as cost, capability, and performance.
This approach will allow personnel to quickly identify and select systems that match mission requirements, significantly reducing delays in deployment. The marketplace is expected to provide a more efficient and user-friendly path for sourcing cutting-edge drone technology.
