WorldWar on Iran accelerates Pentagon shift as US seeks cheaper weapons

The war on Iran is speeding up changes inside the Pentagon as US defence officials look for military technologies that can be developed and deployed faster and at lower cost. Jarred Conley of the Defense Innovation Unit says autonomous warfare could supplement US capabilities while reducing the expense of countering threats such as drones. The conflict has also prompted questions about American stocks of Patriot and THAAD interceptors. The Pentagon and President Donald Trump deny that ammunition supplies are running low.
