Pentagon reviewing industry proposals for innovative weapons ideas to send to Ukraine
CNN
The Defense Department is reviewing 1,300 proposals from 800 companies for innovative new weapons and commercial capabilities they may be able to develop and produce for Ukraine to use in its fight against Russia's invasion of the country, a defense official told CNN on Thursday.
The Pentagon hopes to make decisions on which proposals it wants to pursue in the coming weeks -- and which ones could potentially be used in the future by the US military.
The proposals, requested by the department, center around key areas, including weapons capabilities for air defense, anti-armor, anti-personnel, coastal defense, anti-tank, unmanned aerial systems, counter battery and secure communications that have been identified by the Ukrainians as key military needs.
