US Navy Puts Out Bid For Counter NEXT Drone Fighting Tech As Attacks Persist In Red Sea

The US has issued a new Area of Interest (AOI) to find proposals to counter the use of drones. The US and its Allies have been fighting Houthi drones and missiles in the Red Sea for months now. Houthi drones used are often cheap while being expensive to destroy and are posing a real problem for the Navy to counter effectively. Military drones come in many shapes and sizes and are changing how war is fought (e.g., the Navy is developing the advanced MQ-25 Stingray drone for aerial refueling operations).
