Military technology displays highlight the push for autonomous defense tools

A four-legged robot dog was displayed at the United States Army annual conference in Washington, D.C., Fox News reported. The event featured a handheld weapon designed to disable drones without firing shots, alongside a new interceptor built to target faster threats. [1]

Military developers face ongoing challenges in keeping pace with rapid defense changes. Ondas Chief Executive Officer Eric Brock stated that the main difficulty lies in manufacturing autonomous drones and counter-drone systems at a massive scale rather than creating the technology itself. [1]

The United States military has also been updating its preparation strategies in other areas. As FTMQ News reported earlier, the U.S. Army recently introduced a biodefense plan that incorporates biological warfare scenarios into routine combat training due to risks involving biotechnology and artificial intelligence.

Defense officials continue to assess long term security needs. Fox News reported that Brock described the effort to stay ahead of modern battlefield technology as an ongoing game where developers must constantly look down the field. [1]
