The US military achieved its first-ever air-to-air drone kill using an armed first-person view (FPV) system, marking a milestone in unmanned aerial combat.

A Skyraider drone equipped with a claymore mine intercepted and destroyed another unmanned aircraft in a simulated engagement above Tabernacle Field at Fort Rucker on August 11.

Chief Warrant Officer 2 Nate Shea piloted the Skyraider, while Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Topits controlled the target.

The exercise took place ahead of the US Army Unmanned Aircraft Systems Summit and is viewed as a significant step in the use of autonomous and remotely operated systems.
