El Pentágono ha desarrollado un dron kamikaze de bajo coste llamado LUCAS (Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System) imitando el diseño del dron iraní Shahed 136. Esta decisión surge tras analizar el éxito del Shahed 136 en conflictos recientes y la necesidad de Estados Unidos de adaptar su estrategia militar. LUCAS, utilizado en la Operación Furia Épica, tiene un diseño de ala delta, un motor eléctrico que lo hace más silencioso, y pesa 200 kg, con una carga explosiva de 40-50 kg. Guiado por GPS y un sistema inercial, puede volar de forma autónoma con un margen de error de cinco metros. Al igual que el Shahed 136, LUCAS tiene una autonomía de 1.900 kilómetros y puede transportar hasta 18 kg de carga útil.
