“Army Aviation has already proven its effectiveness in countering UAVs. The next stage is developing joint tactics for employing manned aviation alongside unmanned systems.

Mainly as a cargo system for moving large factor ammo, like drones, missiles or artillery shells. But also capable of moving supplies or being a quick evac.
