国防部长皮特·赫格塞思定于周三上午就自主作战的未来发表讲话。目前五角大楼正努力推动军队现代化，但领导层却出现动荡。
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to discuss the future of autonomous warfare Wednesday morning as the Pentagon pushes to modernize the military amid leadership shake-ups. Hegseth will join acting Army Secretary Adam Telle and acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao at the Association of the United States Army’s annual meeting for a discussion on Project Agincourt, focused on unmanned systems.
届时，赫格塞思将与代理陆军部长亚当·特莱以及代理海军部长洪曹一同出席美国陆军协会年度大会，共同探讨以无人系统为核心的“阿金库尔计划”。
The appearance comes a day after acting Army chief of staff Gen. Christopher LaNeve insisted the service is “sprinting” toward modernization despite recent leadership changes.
就在前一天，代理陆军参谋长克里斯托弗·拉内夫将军还坚称，尽管近期领导层出现变动，陆军仍正全力推进现代化进程。
Hegseth also faces questions over costs associated with the ongoing Iran war and bipartisan backlash over his proposal to livestream the execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan.
此外，赫格塞思还面临有关当前伊朗战争开支的质疑，以及因提议直播对胡德堡枪击案凶手尼达尔·哈桑执行死刑而招致的两党反对声浪。此次活动定于美国东部时间上午10点开始。
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
