U.S. Army soldiers assemble and fly attack drone in successful live-fire test

The U.S. Army has succeeded in a live-fire test of a one-time attack drone assembled and operated by soldiers, as it seeks to build frontline units’ ability to operate and modify small drones without relying on outside vendors. The 2nd Cavalry Regiment used an Orqa MRM2-10 at the Grafenwoehr training area in Germany. Soldiers added a unit-designed electronic safety device and a 3D-printed explosive housing.
