With push to 3D print drones, Army examines battlefield calculation
“Is it really the right answer to have a brigade carrying around 3D printers in the back of a truck trying to print 100, 400, 500 of these things at a time, and fabricate them while on the move so they don't get targeted by the enemy?” asked Col. Nick Ryan, director of the Army Capability Manager for Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
