Operation Southern Spear: Robotic Drug War

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth unveils Operation Southern Spear, a major expansion of counter-drug efforts in the Western Hemisphere. This long-duration mission, set to begin in November, will employ robotic and autonomous systems to target drug cartel activities threatening U.S. security. The initiative aims to defend the homeland, remove narco-terrorists, and secure the country from deadly drugs. The operation, which began earlier this year, is now entering an expanded phase, focusing on integrating robotic and autonomous systems into maritime counter-drug operations. The results of this operation will help determine the most effective combinations of unmanned vehicles and manned forces for ongoing missions, supporting a larger effort to use robotic and autonomous capabilities across the entire fleet.
