As drones become ever more important for reconnaissance, defensive and offensive applications, streamlining the process of developing and adapting new capabilities is critical to their most effective use. By speeding up the processes of getting drones into the hands of warfighters and incorporating their feedback for iterating new capabilities, the Army can ensure that drones live up to their promise as efficient, effective tools on the modern battlefield. In this panel discussion, Defense News examined how the design, production and modification of drones can be streamlined to meet front-line needs.
