The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has just unveiled its plan to mass produce autonomous weapons, like drones, to counter China’s rapid militarization.
- The new program dubbed ‘Replicator’ will help the US focus on developing and churning out “thousands” of “small, smart, cheap, and many” combat units.
- The initiative aims to use AI-powered uncrewed systems to counter China’s armed forces while harnessing US innovation.
