Over the next four to six weeks, the U.S. Army plans to establish at least two testing ranges that will replicate the real electronic warfare conditions found on the battlefield in Ukraine.
According to CBS News, U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll announced the initiative, Ukrinform reports.
According to Driscoll, the goal is to recreate the specific electronic warfare environment and all battlefield conditions, while enabling cooperation between drone manufacturers and developers of counter-drone technologies.
The facilities are expected to allow military personnel to improve their skills and work closely with developers of unmanned systems, the Army Secretary noted.
In addition, Driscoll said the U.S. Army is considering establishing a global testing range outside the United States for conducting "much more aggressive testing," including with hypersonic weapons.
