A mobile brigade in the 101st Airborne Division put drones to the test in a recent training rotation—and used the Infantry Squad Vehicle to keep unmanned systems running.
The US Army is actively integrating unmanned systems into ground operations, requiring robust mobile power solutions to sustain their operations in the field.
This demonstrates a practical application of existing military assets to support emerging drone warfare capabilities, highlighting the evolving nature of battlefield logistics and power requirements.
Traditional ground vehicles are now being adapted to serve as mobile power hubs for advanced unmanned systems, extending the operational reach and endurance of drone fleets.
