US Army tests drone-swarm tactics and counter-UAS in Project Flytrap

The US Army is experimenting with tactics for operating in and against saturated drone environments, including massing tens of drones at a time, integrating jamming/counter-UAS defenses, and training soldiers to detect drones by sound during patrols. The exercise also highlights rapid field modification via 3D printing and first-time application of JIATF 401 testing standards across 20+ systems, indicating a push toward swarm-era doctrine and standardized evaluation.
