Manufacturers: I Think Eventually We’ll Have At Least One Drone For Every U.S. Soldier
FNC’s Maria Bartiromo interviewed drone manufacturers Wahid Nawabi, the CEO of Aerovironment, and Skydio CEO Adam Bry, on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “The tactics and weapons we’re using right now are super effective, but they’re super expensive,” Bry said. “The problem is the asymmetry in cost. The Iranians are launching drones that cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, and we’re launching missiles that cost millions of dollars. We’re very proud of the order we just closed with the US Army. This is capability, this is ISR — intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance — which historically would have cost millions or hundreds of thousands per system. So for $ 52 million, you’re talking about tens or hundreds of systems. With Skydio, we’re talking about thousands. It has never been possible to get so much capability from something so small.” “I think eventually we’re going to have one of these in the hands of every soldier,” he said.
