00:10You
00:30Let's go.
00:58Are they stagnant?
01:03Yeah, they're like just moving around in a little position, but they're in the same squad.
01:08They hit a little 120 all in their head.
01:12Okay, that is an RAO.
01:14FL, you got one in RAO.
01:17What does it look like, two-man team?
01:18Right now, all I see is a one-man behind cover, but there's more than likely more than just one
01:23with him.
01:23Okay.
01:23Eagle 3-6, 1st Lieutenant Joshua Pugh.
01:27I'm here with 2-2-CR, Eagle Troop, 3rd platoon.
01:31We're out here conducting flytrap, and that's going to be focused on counter UAS systems and UAS systems.
01:39Five-man enemy OP team stationary under treeline.
01:43Eagle A-0, this is Eagle A-3, fire for effect, over.
01:47Bravo teams, we're going to the right, connect back here, AC-365.
01:51Get done.
01:52Get your boots moving.
02:00Marina, Tel-6, we're launching pair of time now.
02:05You can see what's going on with our adversaries, and we're trying to modernize and push the initiative to identify
02:11new ways and new systems that the Army can mass-produce and utilize to counteract these drug systems.
02:19So my snipers are already in this woodland waiting for us.
02:22The snipers are in there telling me it's a barrier.
02:23And then, Captain, I want you to fly to the east, which is going to be to the right, Captain,
02:30this ODA.
02:31And scan, see if you can see anything popping up.
02:38363-1, we have been to the control.
02:43Over here.
02:45Okay, how about it at the same time?
02:51You're going right.
02:52You're going right.
02:55You're going right.
02:59Rolling T.
03:00Rolling T.
03:01In a rolling T.
03:03Yeah, it lets us troubleshoot them at our level and identify where the weak points are and where we need
03:10to get better as a troop and as an Army overall.
03:14It identifies those big friction points and TTPs and SOPs, even bow drills that we need to refine and further
03:22develop so that, you know, when we take contact via drone, we're not sitting there with our hands in our
03:28pockets.
03:29We know exactly what to do, what systems to do, what systems to use, and what best systems to use
03:33given that scenario.
03:36They've been working very closely with these vendors, both with training, implementation, integration as a whole.
03:45So, I believe that my soldiers, they understand these systems, they understand their best use case, and we need more
03:52events like this.
03:53We need to have drones flying overhead.
03:56We need to react to them.
03:57We need to see when we fail.
03:58We need to see when we succeed.
04:01That will come over time, and that will come over more training time available to get my guys right.
04:10My name is Major Jared Whitaker from 5th Corps.
04:13I am the Technical Integration and Assessment Lead for Project Flight Traveler,
04:17where maneuver units specifically can evaluate and develop TTPs, or tactics, techniques, and procedures, on how best to employ counter
04:28-UAS systems to defeat that threat.
04:32So, this iteration of Flytrap 5.0 is significantly more complex.
04:39There's been a much larger force-on-force period to replicate a more realistic threat environment.
04:46And then we also have many more systems to see how they can be employed by the maneuver units.
04:54So, Project Flytrap is exploring how we get the cost differential between the threat and the effector to defeat that
05:02threat to be closer.
05:05Our munitions, our systems, need to be more cost-effective to balance that out.
05:10Also, to allow for a more rapid refill of ammunition or systems in a fight.
05:18So, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, 5-4 Air Defense, and 6-1 Cav have taken these systems that we've given them
05:24and rapidly learned on the basics of executing and using those systems in roughly two weeks.
05:31So, we're seeing a very quick time from implementation to understanding of how the systems can be used.
05:39So, Flytrap 5.0 will achieve its objectives.
05:42The information we gather here can help inform the acquisitions community and get systems in the hands of soldiers faster
05:49than ever before.
05:50I think Flytrap 5.0 demonstrates the Army and the Joint Forces' willingness and desire to rapidly innovate and find
06:01a solution to a problem.
06:02My name is Staff Sergeant Nunez. I'm with Eagle Troops 2nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment.
06:08I am an infantryman, and what we're out here doing is we are implementing new counter-UAS systems into infantry
06:17tactics in order so that we are able to be in any fight, in any front against any enemy.
06:28Right now, we are implementing them at a complete level and the squadron level.
06:36We are just seeing how they work, where he's made for reconnaissance, where he's in the first strike.
06:42And also, we have chammers and photographers for any drone systems in the class 1-4.
06:49And, uh, we are utilizing the means of the best game of a maneuver on the enemy, both within the
06:54square.
06:55It is our job.
06:58Start!
06:59Move it, start!
07:14I am Sergeant James Brooker with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.
07:18I'm out here at Operation Flytrap.
07:20These drones are very eye-opening.
07:22We're creating this 3-D battle space.
07:24It's kind of nuts.
07:25Always gotta look around, gotta make sure my tubes are looking up.
07:28You know, if it were easy, it wouldn't be worth it.
07:30Uh, it's, it's been hard.
07:32It's, uh, it's definitely been hard to integrate all these systems with our stuff.
07:35Uh, but that's kind of the whole point, right?
07:37Do hard stuff, do great things.
07:40Um, I think it's, like, kind of the purpose and the job of an infantryman to get stuff
07:45and figure out how to use it to defeat your enemy.
07:48Uh, and creating excuses of why it doesn't work is not the answer.
07:52Finding solutions to problems is what you should feel.
07:55Seeing my soldiers use this new technology, it's, uh, kind of eye-opening.
07:59Kind of, like, reminding us that there's people out there with similar capabilities.
08:03And, uh, you have to work harder.
08:04You have to rely on different tactics.
08:07Um, and I think this kind of opens up pathways to, like, shared experiences between allies.
08:13And, like, just on the foot soldier level, like, uh, if the British guys are doing this, we can do
08:18that.
08:19And we can work together and defeat the, the bad guys.
08:22You run for those dudes.
08:23Two, two, three there.
08:28And I will play with the judo.
08:28Two, three, four.
08:29Three, four, one, five, and one.
08:29Okay, yep, one, one, two.
08:30Yeah, you come and see something that ratically effects around theقتantine.
08:32You
