The Army<\/u><\/a> is rapidly developing small, first-person-view drones \u2014 the same kind that have proven devastatingly effective in Ukraine \u2014 and envisions a future where “every infantryman will have a drone with them,” according to Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re doing essentially a call to arms where we are ingesting the lessons being learned in Ukraine,” Driscoll told a small group of reporters on the sidelines of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) annual conference. “Ukraine was able to take out almost $10 billion worth of Russian equipment with $100,000 worth of drones.”<\/p>\n

He added that the Army\u2019s elite units are already planning around drones for every mission. “When you meet with our lead units like the Ranger Regiment or Delta Force,” he said, “they envision drones being a core part of every action they do.”<\/p>\n

The remarks came during the Association of the United States Army\u2019s annual conference in Washington, where hundreds of Army leaders met with defense executives showcasing the latest battlefield technology. The event \u2014 one of the Army\u2019s largest industry gatherings \u2014 almost didn\u2019t happen this year amid the government shutdown.<\/p>\n

AUSA stepped in with a $1 million donation to cover travel costs and fly in Army officers from around the world, allowing the service to continue its meetings with industry and push ahead on modernization plans.<\/p>\n

Driscoll said the Army sees drones and counter-drones as “different sides of the same coin,” noting that future soldiers will need to be proficient at both. “You can\u2019t really defend against one without being an expert in the other,” he said.<\/p>\n

The service is also developing defensive networks that merge sensors and interceptors to protect key assets from aerial threats. “We\u2019re using new technologies like drones to create a sensing layer that, paired with interceptors, will essentially allow us to build mini \u2018Iron Domes\u2019 over protected assets,” Driscoll said.<\/p>\n

He described this “drone-pervasive” vision as part of a sweeping modernization campaign that spans\u00a0artificial intelligence, industrial reform, and energy resilience \u2014 all of which, he said, are necessary for the Army to operate in contested environments such as the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n

In a separate but related effort, Driscoll and Energy Secretary Chris Wright unveiled the Janus Program, a next-generation energy initiative that would place small nuclear microreactors at Army bases across the United States. The goal: make installations self-sufficient in power and less dependent on vulnerable fuel convoys or overseas supply chains.<\/p>\n

“These reactors will be commercially built and operated,” Driscoll said, “and they\u2019ll give us the ability to provide resilient, secure, round-the-clock power at our most critical installations.”<\/p>\n

Wright said the program aims to replicate the reliability of nuclear propulsion in Navy submarines<\/u><\/a>. “These engines are installed, they run the life of the submarine without refueling,” he said. “That changed the game for our Navy. And I think we can do the same thing for our Army with small reactors that can be deployed in all different settings.”<\/p>\n

The Janus reactors, which will be developed in partnership with the Department of Energy, are designed to be small and transportable. Driscoll said each would be shielded with armor-grade materials \u2014 “the same material you put around a tank” \u2014 and protected by the same layered sensor and drone network envisioned for base defense.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest hurdles to scaling microreactors is uranium enrichment. The reactors require high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU)<\/u><\/a> \u2014 a higher concentration of uranium-235 than is currently produced for civilian use.<\/p>\n

“Nobody produces it today,” Wright told reporters. “Congress allocated some money a couple of years ago, but it\u2019s been sat on too long. We\u2019ll be giving awards to accelerate the rise of American-owned enrichment capacity in America.”<\/p>\n

Wright said the goal is to restore the domestic uranium supply chain and eliminate reliance on foreign sources. “We built 100 reactors quickly, providing 20 percent of U.S. electricity \u2014 and then it stagnated for decades,” he said. “Now nuclear provides around 5 percent of global energy output. This is deeply disappointing.”<\/p>\n

Driscoll acknowledged that safety and security will be top concerns as the Army moves forward. “From a cyber perspective, no one is going to allow a nuclear reactor that is remotely operated,” he said. “They\u2019ll be connected by fiber optic \u2014 there\u2019s no remote operation possibility.”<\/p>\n

He added that the reactors\u2019 small size and design make them unattractive proliferation targets. “These will be in the 50 U.S. states, not deployed to the front,” he said. “They\u2019re small targets, with very small amounts of material inside.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
