00:08.039 --> 00:09.872
The modern battlefield has a new

00:09.872 --> 00:13.260
predator , small , fast , and lethal .

00:13.720 --> 00:16.000
Unmanned aerial systems have changed

00:16.000 --> 00:18.399
the way we fight . But America's

00:18.399 --> 00:20.566
forward deployed soldiers are fighting

00:20.566 --> 00:24.549
back . In Europe , the

00:24.549 --> 00:26.549
2nd Cavalry Regiment is leading the

00:26.549 --> 00:28.271
charge with Project Flytrap as

00:28.271 --> 00:30.105
developments innovate tactics to

00:30.105 --> 00:32.689
counter this ever-present threat . The

00:32.689 --> 00:34.856
threat is no longer just sophisticated

00:34.856 --> 00:36.610
hardware , it's accessible and

00:36.610 --> 00:39.619
adaptable . Our job is to protect the

00:39.619 --> 00:42.459
force . We're taking systems designed

00:42.459 --> 00:44.700
for fixed sites and putting them on the

00:44.700 --> 00:46.811
move , integrating them directly onto

00:46.811 --> 00:49.033
our combat platform so our soldiers can

00:49.033 --> 00:51.089
fight and win while under the threat

00:51.089 --> 00:53.810
from above . For 5th Corps , America's

00:53.810 --> 00:55.754
forward deployed corps in Europe ,

00:55.810 --> 00:57.750
these capabilities are critical .

00:58.330 --> 01:00.441
Owning the airspace allows commanders

01:00.441 --> 01:02.552
to maneuver freely and enables ground

01:02.552 --> 01:04.052
forces to conduct decisive

01:04.052 --> 01:06.050
counterattacks . Through constant

01:06.050 --> 01:08.069
innovation and allied partnership ,

01:08.379 --> 01:10.490
Project Flytrap is building a layered

01:10.490 --> 01:12.379
defense of sensors and shooters ,

01:12.379 --> 01:14.601
ensuring that when our adversaries look

01:14.601 --> 01:16.657
to the sky , they find it is already

01:16.657 --> 01:17.830
owned by Victory Corps .
