Connecting a battery to a first-person view drone
U.S. Army Sgt. Jacob Harper connects a battery to a first-person view drone in preparation for flight at Norio Training Area, Georgia, Aug. 2, 2025, during Agile Spirit 25. Assigned to Hawkeye Platoon, Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, Harper and his team use FPV drones for strike, reconnaissance, and rapid field testing. The drones are modular and can be assembled in a matter of hours using off-the-shelf parts and 3D-printed components. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. 1st Class Brittany Conley)
