An M1265A1 Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense Stryker assigned to 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment maintains a defensive position during nighttime counter-unmanned aerial system operations at PabradÄ— Training Area, Lithuania, May 14, 2026. Designed to operate around the clock, the M1265A1's integrated sensor array allows crews to detect and track aerial threats in complete darkness, ensuring continuous air defense coverage for maneuver forces regardless of conditions. From April 27 to May 31, 2026, U.S. and Allied forces will conduct Project Flytrap as part of a series of linked exercises, including Sword 26, Saber Strike, Immediate Response, and Swift Response, which transform experimentation into capability. During Project Flytrap, Soldiers integrate counter-unmanned systems, AI-enabled command and control, and live data networks to move faster, decide faster, and fight more effectively across all domains.
