The Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office has completed its third demonstration to look at capability that could fill identified gaps to defeat the growing drone threat around the world.
The Army put an autonomous High Mobility Artillery Rocket Launcher through its paces at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, to see how it might help a future fighting force in the Pacific.
The Army is moving closer to fielding its new long-range cannon as it prepares to announce the first unit to receive the capability ahead of a yearlong operational assessment.
The unarmored vehicle will be light enough to be sling loaded under a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter and small enough to fit inside a CH-47 Chinook helicopter.
