US military to deploy 500 AI-guided UAV jets that rapidly hunt drones and return home
 
The US Department of Defense (DoD) has awarded Anduril Industries, a defense technology and weapons manufacturer based in Southern California, a $250 million contract to provide advanced air defense capabilities across services.

As a part of this contract, Anduril will deliver more than 500 Roadrunner-Ms and additional Pulsar electronic warfare capabilities.
 
The capabilities will address the growing threat of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) attacks against the US forces.

Deliveries will begin in the fourth quarter of 2024 and continue through the end of 2025, according to Anduril.

High-explosive UAV jets
Anduril’s Roadrunner system, a high-explosive vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) interceptor unveiled last year, has been developed to rapidly intercept and neutralize larger UAS threats with unmatched speed, maneuverability, and cost efficiency.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

it seems the government is getting into the habit of using programs that have promise but are insufficiently tested.  I'm thinking of COVID vaccine and EVs in particular. :pondering: I can see big problems with this being safely maintained.
