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

I think the evolution of drones will eventually lead to a new aircraft system. A multi rotor configuration powered by a turbines, and capable of lifting loads similar to, or greater than, an Osprey. 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.
