    The U.S. Army said on Thursday it was abandoning development of a Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA), a next-generation scout helicopter, after spending about $2 billion on the program.
    The Army said that after a "sober assessment of the modern battlefield" it would instead increase investment in uncrewed aircraft.
    "We are learning from the battlefield - especially in Ukraine - that aerial reconnaissance has fundamentally changed,” Army Chief of Staff General Randy George said in a statement.
