US Central Command has announced plans to establish Task Force Falcon Strike, the first multinational, multi-domain attack drone task force. The unit will integrate US and regional partner unmanned systems across air, sea and subsurface domains in West Asia. CENTCOM said the initiative will expand drone capabilities and strengthen coordinated deterrence efforts.
Florida [US], August 14: US Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced plans to establish the first-ever multinational, multi-domain attack drone task force to integrate unmanned systems operated by the United States and regional partners across West Asia, amid continuing conflict and heightened security tensions in the region.
The new unit, designated Task Force Falcon Strike, will employ one-way attack drones comprising unmanned systems operating above, on and below the sea, CENTCOM said in a statement on Thursday.
The initiative comes nine months after CENTCOM established Task Force Scorpion Strike, described by the US military as its first dedicated one-way attack drone squadron in the Middle East.
Scorpion Strike has since reached several operational milestones, including the first launch of an aerial attack drone from a US Navy warship in December last year.
