US soldiers assigned to 3rd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment continued their counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) operations on June 7 with support from 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment during Project Flytrap at Joint Multinational Readiness Center, Hohenfels Training Area, Hohenfels.
Project Flytrap is a series of C-UAS training scenarios that test the capabilities of new, lower-cost and portable technology against adversary drone threats.
In a US Army video by Spc. Elijah Magaña, soldiers are shown setting up the Wingman and Pitbull portable UAS threat detector and jammer systems, which later detected nearby UAS. Soldiers then train on the Smartshooter SMASH 2000L attached to an M4A1 carbine rifle and others operate an AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel radar system to provide a picture of the airspace.
