U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 2nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, the 6th Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, and the 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment alongside British paratroopers from the U.K. Parachute Regiment participate in Project Flytrap, a counter-unmanned aerial system exercise designed to evaluate emerging technologies and develop tactics, techniques and procedures for defeating drone threats on the modern battlefield, at Pabradė Training Area, Lithuania, May 19, 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.
