U.S. Indo-Pacific Command J7 Pacific Multi-Domain Training and Experimentation Capability Range Lead, Dave Bednarcik briefs observers from the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on high value targets employed during the combined live fire integrated air missile defense exercise at Naval Station Leovigildo Gantioqui, Zambales, Philippines, April 25, 2026, during Balikatan 2026. PMTEC provided remotely-piloted aerial drones to simulate realistic adversary aircraft or cruise missiles, providing live targets for U.S. and Philippine air defense teams to track and engage. 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.
