US Army Pacific unit pursues AI-enabled drone saturation with decoys and EW UAVs

USARPAC’s new 7th Infantry Division Multi-Domain Command–Pacific describes an operational concept to overwhelm adversaries by linking sensor drones to long-range one-way attack drones via an adaptive, agentic C2 system (“soldier-on-the-loop”). The post also highlights planned use of decoy drones to drain air-defense magazines and EW drones to isolate targets, indicating a push toward integrated, semi-autonomous drone swarming/saturation tactics rather than single-platform employment.
