Overview
- The three-day competition at Grafenwoehr brought together 10 U.S., allied and partner teams to test small-UAS reconnaissance, strike and navigation skills.
- A Joint Multinational Readiness Center team from Hohenfels placed second overall and, as the top U.S. finisher, is slated to compete in Alabama in February.
- The Lethal UAS lane graded rapid target identification, timely reporting and a call-for-fire executed alongside an FPV strike in dense urban terrain.
- JMTG-U conducted a separate Live Drop 5.0 demonstration on Dec. 10 to iterate small-UAS payload delivery concepts under controlled conditions.
- Fog, humidity and tight urban corridors stressed FPV links and target identification, yielding data that evaluators plan to fold into future training and TTP updates.
