The U.S. Army designated Fort Rucker as its UAS and Autonomy Center of Excellence on Monday, a decision announced by Gen. Christopher LaNeve, vice chief of staff and acting chief of staff of the Army, and praised by Senator Katie Britt.

The Army also selected a proposal from M1 Support Services to use the Robinson R66 single‑engine light helicopter as its new rotary‑wing trainer, replacing the Airbus UH‑72A Lakota at Fort Rucker, after citing mishaps that exposed deficiencies in piloting skills.
