Marines Rushing To Equip Amphibious Combat Vehicles With New Anti-Drone Jammers

The U.S. Marine Corps is moving urgently to equip Amphibious Combat Vehicles with Anduril's Pulsar-L electronic-warfare system and associated vehicle integration kits. A planned sole-source award would provide a non-kinetic counter-drone capability able to detect, classify, and disrupt hostile unmanned aircraft while Marines maneuver from ship to shore and inland. The accelerated procurement reflects the service's assessment that low-cost drones pose an immediate threat to armored formations, although the notice did not disclose a final contract value, vehicle quantity, or planned delivery schedule for units.
