The British Army is training over 120 units in the operation of uncrewed air systems, expanding its drone and autonomous technology capabilities. Defence Minister Al Carns highlighted that training for small Uncrewed Air Systems (sUAS) is rapidly evolving, drawing insights from recent conflicts, notably in Ukraine.
