The US Army is Testing a New Multi-Purpose Company with Drones and Electronic Warfare Equipment to Accelerate Combat Operations

The US Army has tested a new intelligence unit that actively uses drones and electronic warfare. 

The multi-purpose company is designed to accelerate the delivery of lethal weapons to the front lines of combat.

Last month, a group of 80 U.S. Army soldiers in a newly formed unit used attack and reconnaissance drones, electronic warfare (EW) equipment, and support from anti-tank weapons, mortars, and snipers to evaluate a new way to detect and defeat enemy forces.

A division called Multi Purpose Company (MPC), It was created as part of the army's Transformation in Contact (TIC) program, designed to speed up the process of soldiers obtaining the equipment and doctrine needed to wage modern wars.
