US Senate panel backs proposal for a dedicated combatant command for drones and autonomous systems
A US Senate Armed Services Committee vote on the FY2027 defense policy/budget bill includes language to create a Robotic and Autonomous Systems Combatant Command (RASCC). The proposal would elevate drones/autonomous systems to a four-star combatant-command level and streamline testing and procurement, though it would authorize rather than mandate creation.
