US troops test counter-drone technologies in Germany to boost NATO’s air defences
20 November 2025 - 21 November 2025
A line up of US Army vehicles equipped with counter-drone systems prepare to engage in a counter-drone exercise. NATO and its Allies are boosting our defence against the threat posed by drones with various initiatives. Part of these efforts is Project Flytrap 4.5, a US-led initiative designed to test and evaluate off-the-shelf, scalable, cutting-edge counter-drone technologies, for possible fast procurement and future integration into Allied air defence systems. These tested systems can help Allies to detect and destroy drones at a lower cost and higher efficiency.
