Soldiers 2. The United States Army’s driving regiment showed the ability to detect, monitor and neutralize multiple drones using the Ballistic Low Altitude Drone Engagement (Blade) integrated into the vehicle Strykerduring a sharp exercise on the training ground Bemowo Piskie in the northeast of Poland 1.
The activity was part of the project Project Flytrap 4.0, aimed at developing new tactics and technologies of the fight against drones.

According to David Goldstein, Head of the Anti-UAS Department of Army Combat Capabilities Command Armaments Center, some air threats were released at the same time, which required rapid responses:
“The system destroyed one goal and intervened and neutralized in seconds,” he stressed.
Technology of fighting drones
The Blade project was developed between 2016 and 2019 to solve the threats from unmanned aircraft. It is based on the Crows (Common Remotels Operated Weapons Station), a remote -controlled weapon station that is already used in various units of the army.
By combining accurate radar, drone control software against drones and Crow platforms, Blade allows you to identify, monitor and calculate real -time intersections. During exercise in Poland, the system was tested with a machine gun M2 .50 caliber, which fired doses to air targets at a distance of 500 to 800 meters.
In addition to sharp shooting, Blade also participated in the training scenarios without ammunition, simulating the detection and monitoring of threats.
Integration with allies and new solutions
The Flytrap 4.0 project linked the 2nd Country Regiment of the USA and 1.
The program also introduced Cnalt software, developed by the Armaments Center, which provides fire control tools and tactical visualization to shorten the time cycle – known as Kill Chain. With only 15 minutes of instruction, the soldiers were able to control the system and make recommendations based on real -time sensors.
