In this episode of The Pentagon Buzz, Breaking Defense’s Ashley Roque breaks down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s recent speech to the troops, including a plan to create a new Autonomous Warfare Command aimed at getting drones and other robotic systems into servicemembers’ hands faster. The Pentagon is also turning its autonomy portfolio office into Project Agincourt as an interim step toward standing up the new command, which is expected to require congressional approval.
