    A man is hand-launching a fixed-wing UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) into the air in an arid, desert-like environment. The drone appears to be a white twin-boom pusher-configuration fixed-wing aircraft, commonly used for surveying or reconnaissance. The setting appears to be a dry lakebed or desert test area with sparse vegetation.

    Noah Benton of Titan Dynamics launches a rapidly produced sUAS during "Game of Drones" 26-2 at Edwards Air Force Base, California on June 16, 2026. Hosted by the 412th Test Wing’s Experimental Test Force, in collaboration with the Defense Contract Management Agency’s US-X unit, the event supports the Air Force Test Center’s mission to accelerate the evaluation of autonomous technologies through collaborative experimentation and rapid user feedback. These evaluations will help accelerate placement onto the sUAS Blue List, strengthening efforts to meet the Secretary of War’s Drone Dominance initiative. (U.S. Air Force photo by Brandon Hernandez)

    A man wearing a tan hat and blue polo shirt kneels on a concrete tarmac, operating a laptop mounted on a portable tripod stand. To his left sits a large multi-rotor drone (hexacopter or octocopter) on the ground. In the background, a large decommissioned military jet aircraft is parked on what appears to be a desert airfield or aircraft boneyard.
    A man in a white long-sleeve shirt and tan pants is hand-launching a fixed-wing UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) into the air in an arid, desert-like environment. The drone, which is white with a pusher propeller configuration and twin-tail design, is captured mid-flight just after release. The setting appears to be a remote test or operational site with orange safety cones and a vehicle visible in the background.
    A man wearing FPV (First-Person View) goggles with antennas is operating a drone remote controller at what appears to be a military or defense technology demonstration event. He is dressed in a white long-sleeve shirt and holds a drone transmitter/controller. In the background, multiple individuals in military camouflage uniforms are observing the demonstration under a white canopy tent.
    Two observers in the foreground watch a damaged white sedan positioned on a flat desert surface, likely a dry lakebed or airfield. A small drone or aircraft is visible in the air above and behind the vehicle. The scene appears to be a demonstration or test exercise, possibly involving law enforcement or military training.
    Two U.S. Army soldiers in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are engaged in conversation on a military flight line or airfield. The male soldier in the foreground is gesturing with his hand while speaking to a female soldier. Military aircraft with U.S. Air Force markings are visible in the background.
    A military event or expo taking place inside a large hangar facility, where personnel are examining aircraft models and equipment displays. A U.S. Air Force pilot in a flight suit with a squadron patch is presenting or demonstrating items to a soldier in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniform. The setting appears to be a technology or capabilities showcase with multiple display tables and numerous military and civilian attendees.

    Two U.S. Air Force personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are standing on what appears to be a flight line or tarmac in an arid desert environment. The individual on the right is speaking into a microphone while gesturing, while the person on the left listens and holds documents. The setting suggests an outdoor briefing or official address at a desert military installation.
