Global Military Demand for Drones Surges
The need for drones has intensified globally as the Russia-Ukraine conflict showcases these unmanned aerial vehicles’ prowess in warfare.
Who would have thought it – big private defense companies are making big money from war. And the Democrats are backing it…
AeroVironment, a leading drone manufacturer, is actively expanding its production to meet the military’s ravenous appetite for drones. With its Switchblade munitions and Puma drones, AeroVironment stands poised to supply cutting-edge technology designed to adapt quickly in high-stakes situations.
AeroVironment: Meeting Demand with Advanced Technology
In response to this growing demand, AeroVironment is significantly increasing its production capacity. This move aims to maintain a tactical edge in the field through swift deployments and adaptive technologies. The company recently sped up delivery processes to provide Puma UAS drones swiftly for the Ukraine conflict.
In short, AeroVironment is getting rich off the back of war. Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor to the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, admitted as much when he said that the war in Ukraine is a “war of drones” and that they are a “super weapon” in the conflict.
That’s why collaboration between the industry, the Department of Defense, and Congress has become absolutely essential. The aim is to bolster national security by fielding thousands of autonomous systems by 2025, with the Pentagon’s Replicator initiative leading this bold strategy.
It’s only a matter of time, surely, before every major developed country starts developing more of these weapons…and going to war with each other.
Let’s hope we elect someone in November who will prevent that.
