The U.S. military is launching a new autonomous warfare command to deploy cutting-edge unmanned systems across Latin America, marking a first-of-its-kind move by a combatant command.
The U.S. Southern Command commander, Gen. Francis Donovan, said Tuesday he ordered the creation of the SOUTHCOM Autonomous Warfare Command (SAWC) to support national security priorities and regional efforts.
“From the seafloor to space and across the cyber domain, we fully intend to leverage the clear superiority of the American defense ecosystem by deploying cutting-edge innovation and working ever closer with our enduring partners in the region to outmatch those who threaten our collective peace and security,” Donovan said in a statement.
