Why Are America’s Soldiers Buying Their Own Drones?
In a military with a budget exceeding $850 billion, it is unconscionable that servicemembers are forced to make these trade-offs—or worse, pay out of pocket—to prepare for the future of warfare. This problem is solvable. But it requires urgency, innovation, and leadership. It’s time to reclaim American tech superiority.

Warfare's New Equation
Modern Warfare has become a battle of numbers. Yet no longer is the main data point the number of troops but rather the number of systems and their cost. Reporting from the modern battlefields in Ukraine, the Red Sea, and Gaza, and Northern Israel frequently comes with a cost analysis. What was the cost of the missile to shoot down one drone? Or how much did a drone cost to destroy a tank? Mass matters now more than ever because warfare has become democratized. Small, one-way drones - which have effectively become piloted munitions, are relevantly cheap yet extremely effective.
