C-UAS tech tested in U.S. Army’s Project FlyTrap 4.5

U.S. Army soldiers, air defenders, procurement staff and commercial vendors gathered in Germany for a civil and military counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) technology event from November 10 -21.

Project FlyTrap 4.5 gave stakeholders the opportunity to test C-UAS technology against simulated threats from drones operating in NATO airspace. The products involved were required to demonstrate their ability to either detect, discriminate or defeat the various air threats.
