U.S. Army Soldiers control a Vanilla unmanned aerial system (UAS), from the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, during the annual Fleet Experimentation (FLEX) 2026 event in Key West, Fla., April 25, 2026. Hosted by U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. 4th Fleet April 24-30, the exercise integrates commercially developed unmanned systems and artificial intelligence with traditional manned naval platforms. FLEX 2026 features comprehensive collaboration across the Department of War and industry to demonstrate a sophisticated kill chain that successfully found, tracked and engaged captured drug boats. The campaign focuses on operationalizing advanced robotic and autonomous systems to combat transnational organized crime and patrol vast maritime regions.
