An Army drone experiment in Europe is winding down as the 173th Airborne Brigade is ordered to revert to its infantry roots—after nearly a year of building and testing their own combat drones, inspired by Ukraine’s battlefield success. What began as a bold push for unmanned warfare, complete with a dedicated 600-soldier drone battalion and a lab in Italy, is now being shelved under new leadership. General LaNeve’s directive signals a strategic pivot back to traditional airborne combat, though the lessons learned will still shape the Army’s future tech roadmap. The unit’s final exercises are set for this month and next, after which they’ll hand over their findings to guide broader military innovation.
