（NewsNation）——根据国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯发给NewsNation的部分内容，五角大楼正大力推动反无人机武器及防御系统的研发与部署。
(NewsNation) — The Pentagon is emphasizing development and deployment of anti-drone weapons and defenses, according to a new memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that was shared in part to NewsNation.
该备忘录要求国防部将反无人机系统的部署延迟视为一种“作战风险”。
The memo instructs the Defense Department to treat delays in the employment of counter-unmanned aircraft systems as an "operational risk."
赫格塞斯在文中写道：“本备忘录要求国防部勇于承担合理风险，尽早确定审批流程、迅速配备人员、在全部门推行标准化操作，并在出现阻碍时及时上报。”
"This memorandum directs the Department to accept prudent risks, identify approval paths early, staff them fast, standardize them across the Department, and elevate them when they stall," Hegseth wrote.
近十年来，无人机已被广泛应用于全球多场冲突中，最典型的例子便是乌克兰利用各类无人系统有效抵御俄军攻势，使得战事持续时间远超预期。
Drones have been deployed in conflicts across the world throughout the decade, most notably in Ukraine as the country has stymied Russia's forces using unmanned systems that has extended the war longer than many thought possible.
此外，美国国土安全部也在南部边境部署相关措施，以遏制贩毒集团利用无人机实施走私活动；今年夏季，美军甚至动用了激光武器来干扰贩毒集团的无人机。
These drones are even used at the southern border, as the Department of Homeland Security works to counter attempted smuggling operations from cartels. The U.S. has also used lasers to disrupt cartel drones this summer.
备忘录强调，随着无人机技术日益普及且成本不断下降，美国绝不能在此领域落后。
The Pentagon memo says the U.S. cannot fall behind as the technology becomes more ubiquitous and less expensive.
目前美军正与乌克兰士兵开展联合训练，以深入了解对方运用无人机的实战经验。
The military has trained with Ukrainian soldiers to learn more about how they've used drones.
此前美国陆军曾设立专门项目研究海外战场上的无人机应用，但该项目负责人于7月份被撤换，整个项目也于8月份宣告终止。
There was an Army program dedicated to studying drones in foreign wars, but the general in charge was removed in July and the program was disbanded in August.
赫格塞斯强调：“面对快速演变的威胁，我们绝不能以迟缓的官僚体制来应对。”
"We will not answer a fast-moving threat with a slow-moving bureaucracy," Hegseth wrote.
