US Army Project Flytrap tests UAS/UGV deception to trigger enemy EW and mislead breaches

The post describes the US Army’s Project Flytrap experimentation with using small attritable UAS to provoke enemy EW/radars to activate and reveal signatures for targeting, and using UGVs carrying decoy emitters to misdirect enemy attention during obstacle breaching (SOSRA). The novelty is the formalized integration of uncrewed decoys and signature-management into maneuver/breaching TTPs and networked kill chains, rather than a single new drone model.
