U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) J7 Pacific Multi-Domain Training and Experimentation Capability (PMTEC) offloads a maritime drone target from U.S. Army ocean-contracted vessel MB480 in Palawan, Philippines, prior to the counter-landing live-fire exercise during Exercise Balikatan 2026 on April 27, 2026. The advanced unmanned maritime drone simulates an adversarial amphibious fighting vehicle. PMTEC provided maneuverable maritime and aerial targets to enable Philippine, Australian, New Zealand and U.S. forces to rehearse the full spectrum of detection, tracking, and engagement in a dynamic, contested environment. Balikatan is a longstanding annual exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. military that represents the strength of our alliance, improves our capable combined force, and demonstrates our commitment to regional peace and prosperity.
