Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Red Cat is scaling production of aerial and maritime unmanned systems for the U.S. military. Washington attributed the movement of a Russian military satellite to Moscow. Separately, the Pentagon office tasked with overseeing responsible AI use has only filled three of ten authorized positions as of February 2026, and Marines filed a class-action lawsuit against the Pentagon over a data breach at the Defense Manpower Data Center.
