The US Navy is planning to hire drone-maker General Atomics to fly its own unarmed MQ-9 Reapers in support of US Marines in Afghanistan, American media reported Wednesday. The Drive reported that the contractor-operated drones would provide a "surge" of intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance capabilities as the US military expands its activities in the Central Asian country, which the US Air Force is not able to provide at present.
The proposed deal was announced by the Naval Air System Command (NAVAIR) on January 09.
