This fall, the US Army is going to launch a new online platform for ordering unmanned aerial vehicles — something like Amazon for military technology only. The goal is simple: to simplify and greatly speed up the UAV procurement process for divisions so that they can choose proven drones for price and capabilities directly on the Internet, rather than go through long bureaucratic circles.
This platform will be centralized — all proven and approved drone solutions will be assembled in one place. It will be possible to easily filter options by cost, technical characteristics and performance. The heads of the Office of Aviation Programs emphasize that this approach will help circumvent the complex and protracted procedures of traditional procurement at the Pentagon.
As a result, the army will be able to find and purchase exactly what it needs faster, without unnecessary delays. This is part of a large optimization strategy for the entire supply chain, from drone evaluation to delivery and deployment. So everyone is waiting for a more modern, convenient and fast way to equip combat units with modern unmanned systems.
