Integration meets innovation: U.S., U.K. forces prove lethality against aerial threats at Project Flytrap
U.S. Army V Corps
May 4, 2026 | 1:14
Soldiers assigned to the 3rd Platoon, Echo Troop, 2nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, participate in the force-on-force portion of Project Flytrap against British paratroopers from the U.K. Parachute Regiment in a series of simulated engagements designed to test counter-unmanned aerial system integration in a contested environment at Pabradė Training Area, Lithuania, May 4, 2026. Project Flytrap directly supports the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative by evaluating scalable counter-drone solutions that can integrate into 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.
