Summary

Nutrition label

88% Informative

A 2020 New America report cataloged thirty-eight states with armed drone programs, twenty-eight with programs in development, and eleven that have used drones in combat.

Israel used Elbit Systems’ Legion-X drone swarm in combat against Hamas , with the drones searching for targets and relaying information to the Israel Defense Forces .

At least eleven states have announced drone swarm programs.

Not all drone swarms are as simple as small, mainly quadcopter-based commercial examples.

The U.S. Air Force is developing highly sophisticated Collaborative Combat Aircraft like the Kratos XQ-58 Valkyrie that escort and support F-22 and F-35 fighters in achieving air dominance and other roles.

Building and sustaining such a swarm will also require significant logistics and maintenance capability.
