The US Air Force plans to purchase Chinese-made DJI drones for counter-UAS training at F.E. Warren Air Force Base. The drones will be used to test radars, jammers, and other defensive systems against real signals. This training aims to enhance the Air Force's capabilities in detecting and countering unmanned aerial systems.

Why it matters

This acquisition is significant as it highlights the US Air Force's efforts to improve its counter-UAS capabilities, which is crucial for national security. The use of real drones in training will help personnel to better understand and respond to potential threats.
