The issue is more about ranking this in the lowest tier of a long list of needs and wants. In other words, how much profit is in the items needed? The future battlefield doesn't include as many infantry as past battles. Eventually, tactical units could be slimmed down and have only the latest and greatest gadgets and weaponry. But, as we have seen many times, it may only come in bursts as the needs of war always demand. These proposed changes will more likely take a back seat to much larger, more lucrative military upgrades for jets and missiles.

Yes, drones are changing the battlefields (present and future) but everything old is new again, just look at the WW1 trench warfare and artillery barrages in Ukraine, who though that we would ever see that again!

I'm fairly sure advancing drone tech will make being an artilleryman dozens of times more dangerous than being an anonymous grunt in short order.

Hell, 11B may become the safest job in-theater.
