While the RCV program was not explicitly mentioned as one of the Army's "obsolete programs," Driscoll said, after putting the RCV concept to the test, the system proved to be "incredibly valuable, but the actual cost ratio just didn't work.""What we've seen, and this has been seen all over the world, is we keep creating and purchasing these exquisite machines that very cheap drones can take out," Driscoll said during a May 6 episode of the War on the Rocks podcast.
