Pentagon Acquires Weapons from Startups

The Pentagon is buying some new weapons from small companies called startups.

This is because the old ways of buying weapons are slow and expensive.

The new weapons include drones and drone boats.

These new tools are being used in the war with Iran.

The U.S. military is trying to use more modern and cheaper weapons to fight better.

However, changing how the Pentagon buys weapons is very hard and has been a problem for a long time.

Some people want faster changes, while others prefer the old, reliable methods.
