U.S. Army Soldiers, Staff Sgt. William Shouse and Staff Sgt. Randy Denson, both assigned to 3rd Battalion, 320th Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), receive a mission plan evaluation from Heath Pate, lead unmanned aerial vehicle operator at Aevex, during a Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) rotation at Fort Polk, Louisiana, April 1, 2026.

This rotation marks the first integration of Aevex Atlas technology at JRTC, a result of the company’s partnership with Project Manager Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (PM UAS) to provide Soldiers with advanced loitering munition and unmanned aircraft system capabilities.
