ADA2: all-domain attritable autonomous systems 

The first iteration of the Replicator Initiative (Replicator 1), announced in August 2023, will deliver all-domain attritable autonomous systems (ADA2) to warfighters at a scale of multiple thousands, across multiple warfighting domains, within 18-24 months, or by August 2025. In September 2024, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III announced the second iteration of Replicator. Replicator 2 will tackle the warfighter priority of countering the threat posed by small uncrewed aerial systems (C-sUAS) to our most critical installations and force concentrations. Replicator 2 will assist with overcoming challenges in the areas of production capacity, technology innovation, authorities, policies, open system architecture and system integration, and force structure.
