U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to 6th Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment and 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment engage unmanned aerial systems using new equipment capabilities during the live-fire exercise of Project Flytrap at Pabradė Training Area, Lithuania, May 14, 2026. Flytrap is a multinational operation that aims to help the U.S. and allies address the proliferation of drones on the battlefield by evaluating commercial solutions that can operate within NATO’s existing air defense networks. 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.
