Department of War Innovation Unit(@DIU_x):We’ve reached another milestone in the @DeptofWar's race for American Drone Dominance. Just weeks after the conclusion of Gauntlet II, the Drone Dominance Program has selected the top five performers in both Deep Strike and Close Quarters Battle mission areas. Each will receive orders from a pool of 60,000 drones – 3x the scale of Gauntlet I. These drones are also cheaper, more capable, and sourced from a supply chain more closely tied to the American industrial base. View the winning companies and the updated leaderboard here:
