U.S. Army discusses training and employment concepts for LUCAS one-way attack drones
The article describes evolving U.S. Army training and planning for employing LUCAS long-range one-way attack drones, discussed at the AUSA annual symposium. It also references prior fielding of LUCAS and its reported combat debut against Iran earlier in the year, but the primary focus is doctrine and training integration rather than a specific strike event.
