WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - The Pentagon announced

two drones and more networking software will be added to the

ambitious Replicator initiative aimed at accelerating the

military's use of thousands of autonomous systems across air and

maritime domains.

Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks said that the

Anduril Industries Ghost-X and the Performance Drone Works C-100

UAS were selected under the Replicator program to help fill the

Army's Company-Level Small UAS effort.
