U.S. Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll says he is locked in a “holy war” on Capitol Hill as he works to convince lawmakers to grant the service more flexible funding authority for electronic warfare, unmanned aerial systems and counter-drone efforts, according to the Military Times.
“We have 1,400 [to] 1,500 line items of make and model of things we need to buy,” he told a group of reporters last week. “Specifically we have asked to consolidate down in electronic warfare, drone and counter-drone. … This is 1% of our budget and we are in like a holy war over whether we’re going to have the authority for 1% of our budget to have the flexibility to buy different makes and models.”
The Army first announced it wanted flexible funding in these areas in 2024 during the Biden Administration in order to keep pace with technology developments that are moving so quickly the service’s traditional acquisition paths would continuously lead to the delivery of outdated equipment, with new electronic warfare capabilities seen on the battlefield in Ukraine outpacing old technology in a matter of weeks, rather than years, like has usually been the case for the Pentagon.
