Army pushes battlefield AI as counter-drone fight takes center stage

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Army is expanding its use of artificial intelligence beyond drones — from wearable smart glasses that train mechanics in the field to automated defenses against swarms of cheap enemy aircraft — as leaders warn the counter-drone fight is now «problem 1A» for the nation.
Speaking to reporters this week, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll described a pilot program in which soldiers wearAI-enabled Ray-Ban glasses that record repair jobs and then use generative models to walk less-experienced troops through infantry squad vehicle maintenance. He said it reflects a new push to bring consumer technology into the force «a lot more quickly» than in the past. While Meta may have spent billions developing the glasses, the Army is testing them for about $400 a pair.
Gen. Randy George, the Army’s chief of staff, said the same approach applies to the Pentagon’s top emerging challenge: defending against drones.
«This is problem 1A that we’re facing as a country,» Driscoll said, stressing that counter-drone technology must be cheap, fast and automated. «If you think of a drone swarm … it is a nearly impossible idea for even human beings [to handle].»

That challenge has been underscored overseas, where advanced aircraft have been used to intercept relatively inexpensive drones. «If you’ve got a $5,000 drone, you want a $2,000 or $3,000 or $4,000 interceptor, and that’s what we’re focused on,» George said.
Last week, Dutch F-35s and Polish F-16s deployed to take out dozens of Russian drones flying into Russian territory.
George added that the Army is testing proximity rounds and high-energy lasers, while the bigger hurdle is defending against drones in crowded civilian airspace.
As part of the Army’s «continuous transformation» initiative, George said 25 brigades will be overhauled in the next two years to make them more lethal, mobile and survivable in high-threat environments. The first armored brigade combat teams are set to rotate through the National Training Center in California this November, followed by a large-scale exercise in Hawaii.
George also pointed to armor modernization, saying the Army’s next-generation M1E3 tank — envisioned as a lighter, faster replacement for the Abrams — could reach units as early as next year. That would mark a major acceleration, since earlier projections suggested the vehicle would not field until the 2030s.
To pay for its modernization drive, Driscoll said the Army plans to cut $48 billion over five years from programs it no longer needs, reinvesting in drones, air defenses and long-range fires.

The service also launched a $750 million «Fuse» fund to support small and mid-sized businesses and previewed new acquisition reforms to be detailed at next month’s AUSA conference. Modeled partly on the rapid iteration practices of commercial companies, the changes will co-locate soldiers, engineers and contractors to speed up design and fielding.
Officials also highlighted in-house efforts. George said the Army is now building its own drones at depots with all-American parts — including models already flying in Ukraine — to help replenish stockpiles. Driscoll said 3D printing is being tested as a way to overcome the «tyranny of distance» in the Indo-Pacific, allowing soldiers to fabricate parts in theater instead of waiting on long supply lines.

George pointed to battlefield command as another area of change. The 4th Infantry Division is now testing command-and-control apps on ruggedized tablets — replacing the trucks and racks of radios that have long anchored Army command posts.

The move is designed to make headquarters smaller and harder to target, though outside experts have warned that relying on commercial-style devices could introduce new cyber vulnerabilities and durability issues in combat.
Driscoll also credited President Trump with backing the Army’s overhaul. «They’ve held the line every single time when we have made a hard decision,» he said. Still, he acknowledged that each of the $48 billion in cuts has defenders in Congress and industry.

Denmark considers triggering NATO Article 4 after drones fly over airports

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Denmark is considering triggering NATO Article 4 after the country was forced to close Aalborg Airport after drones were spotted for a second time this week.
Denmark reached out to NATO and the European Union in the wake of the threat, according to Euronews.
Copenhagen was reportedly considering whether to invoke NATO’s Article 4, which would trigger a meeting for members of the alliance. Neither NATO nor Secretary-General Mark Rutte have made public statements on the matter.
Danish Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen vowed in a joint statement that Denmark would «find the people who are behind this,» according to Euronews.

«We have various military capabilities that can help defend Denmark, F-35 and our frigates,» he said.
Smaller airports in the country allegedly also saw drone activity but were not impacted as a result, the BBC reported.
Danish authorities said the drone incident was a «hybrid attack» that came from a «professional actor,» according to the BBC. The outlet said authorities specified that the drones were launched locally and did not come from Russia.

On Monday, a similar drone incident impacted Copenhagen Airport. Unlike the incident at Aalborg, some suspected Russia could have been the culprit behind the attack.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said it was «the most serious attack on Danish critical infrastructure to date,» according to reports. She added that the country was «not ruling out any options in relation to who is behind it,» Reuters reported.

«The drones that halted flights at Copenhagen Airport were part of a pattern of persistent contestation at our borders,» European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday, Euronews reported.
The airport in Oslo, Norway, was also shut down on Monday evening for three hours due to possible threats from drone activity, according to Euronews.

Harris literally threw ‘JOE BIDEN WON’ talking points on table after disastrous debate: ‘Are you kidding me?’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Kamala Harris, when she was serving as vice president, rejected the Biden campaign’s pressure to celebrate the then-president as the winner of his disastrous debate against Donald Trump, saying she didn’t want to be fed «bulsh–t,» she reported in her new memoir.
«‘JOE BIDEN WON»—all caps, highlighted. ‘He fought through his cold as he is fighting for the American people,’» a sheet of paper containing favorable talking points after then-President Joe Biden’s poor performance on the debate stage, according to Harris’ latest memoir, «107 Days.»
Biden’s poor debate performance against Trump in June 2024 served as the death knell to the campaign that already was coping with mounting public concern that Biden’s mental acuity had cratered and he was unable to serve a second term. Despite the abject failure of a debate performance, Biden’s campaign wanted Harris to deliver favorable assessments of the debate to the American people, according to her book.
«Are you kidding me?» she said ran through her mind as she read the sheet of paper declaring Biden the winner of the night.

She threw the paper back on the table before fielding a call from Biden’s team outlining she was expected to say more of the same as the talking points when joining media interviews.
«No. Don’t feed me bulls–t. Everyone saw what they saw,» Harris continued in the book of what she thought during the call.
The then-vice president said the disastrous debate was littered with Biden missing opportunities to attack Trump, stumbling over his words and losing his train of thought.
KAMALA HARRIS HAD PROFANE MESSAGE FOR GOVERNORS UNEASY ABOUT SUPPORTING BIDEN
«Trump, meanwhile, was using his words like a weapon, but shooting before he aimed, spouting lies, unburdened by the truth,» she wrote. «Biden, striving for accuracy, often stopped midsentence to correct himself, which left him sounding hesitant and garbled. I knew the important policy points he was struggling to convey, and I knew he knew them. He is a master of this material, but that was not coming across at all.»

The Biden campaign suffered a devastating gut punch when Biden delivered a bizarre line on Medicare.
«And then, at the end of a string of convoluted sentences in which he twice confused millions and billions, Joe lost his train of thought entirely, looked disoriented, and blurted out, ‘We finally beat Medicare,’» Harris wrote in her scathing critique of the debate.
«Trump’s reply: ‘Well, he’s right. He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death,’» Harris continued.
FLASHBACK: THE DEBATE NIGHT AGAINST TRUMP THAT THREW BIDEN’S REELECTION CAMPAIGN INTO A FREE FALL
The former vice president described that campaign staffers were tracking reactions to the debate online, with the vast majority describing Biden’s performance as «disaster,» «train wreck» and «embarrassment,» she wrote.
Harris’ husband, attorney Doug Emhoff, faced his own outrage over Biden’s debate performance when left-wing Hollywood director Rob Reiner «screamed» at him during a watch party that democracy was about to be squandered over Biden’s performance.

«Doug, at a watch party with Hollywood donors, was getting an earful. Rob Reiner had screamed at him: ‘We’re going to lose our f—ing democracy and it’s your fault!’» Harris wrote.
As Harris prepared to join CNN in a post-debate interview that was all but guaranteed to focus on Biden’s disastrous performance, she reflected on a joke about a cheating husband, she wrote.

«I couldn’t help but think of the Richard Pryor joke where his wife catches him in bed with another woman. ‘You gonna believe me or your lyin’ eyes?’ he says,» Harris wrote.
Harris said she would not tell voters «that their eyes had lied,» and instead pivoted her talking points to «Trump’s numerous lies.»

«Listen, people can debate on style points, but ultimately this election and who is the president of the United States has to be about substance,» she told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in the post-debate interview. «Donald Trump lied over and over and over again, as he is wont to do. He would not disavow what happened on January 6. He would not give a clear answer on whether he would stand by the election results this November. He went back and forth about where he stands on one of the most critical issues of freedom in America, which is the right of women to make decisions about their own body.»
