Cheap FPV drones are wreaking havoc on modern battlefields, and the U.S. Army knows its traditional air defenses aren’t cutting it. That’s why they’ve been testing a low-cost, layered defense system called Project Flytrap.
In this video, we break down Flytrap 4.0, the Army’s latest field test of counter-drone gear built for the squad level. From rifle-like jammers and smart optics to drone-on-drone intercepts and wearable EW tools, this is how the Army is trying to protect troops from the growing drone threat without relying on million-dollar missiles.
