August 17, 2026: Over the last five years, Ukraine developed and successfully used drone warfare. Military commanders worldwide have to deal with this revolution. In America, legislators are debating ways to proceed. Revising weapons procurement systems and establishing mass-production capacity for drones would be straightforward in wartime. But the United States has been at peace for over a decade. Notwithstanding the current war with Iran, the American Congress and its legislators are seeking to find ways to supply American forces they will need in near-term and future wars.

One recent proposal, the American Drone Manufacturing Dominance Act, proposes using $1.5 billion to finance the construction of many types of drones in the United States. Ukraine has been assisting the U.S. in this effort, even though it may export drones to America before the U.S. drone industry reaches full production capacity.

The Strategic Unmanned Systems Partnership Act improves Ukraine-American cooperation in designing, developing, and manufacturing new and existing drone designs. This includes developing new defensive systems to take down hostile drones using interceptors or electronic means. These new weapons and equipment require effective manufacturing methods and rapid deployment.

The Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Strategy Act develops a strategy for incorporating air, land, and naval drones into current or near-future conflict. This includes the Western Pacific and the potential threat from China as well as Russia, the Middle East, and domestic threats like drug smuggling and illegal migrants.

The Revolutionary FAR Overhaul gives military manufacturers an easier, more accessible and effective way to move forward with procurement planning and workforce recruiting and management.
