DroneShield’s advanced counter-unmanned aerial systems (CUAS) technology has played a key role in Project FlyTrap, a multinational defense initiative led by the U.S. Army V Corps.

The critical exercise, running from June to August in Germany and Poland, brings together U.S. and U.K forces to advance CUAS technology capabilities in response to rapidly evolving aerial threats on the modern battlefield.

Project FlyTrap highlights the ongoing evolution of counter-drone efforts among NATO allies, particularly in response to the escalating drone threats observed in recent conflicts. By participating in this exercise, DroneShield is strengthening its position as a trusted partner in the defense industry and a key enabler of future-ready security solutions.

DroneShield has been exclusively focused on CUAS technology for over 11 years and has deployed nearly 4,000 units across more than 40 countries. The company’s counter-drone technologies have been proved in modern conflicts, demonstrating reliability and effectiveness in real-world combat.

Tom Branstetter, VP of Business Development and Sales at DroneShield, commented, “CUAS is no longer optional—it’s essential. We see exercises like Project FlyTrap as crucial to testing technology before it gets into the warfighter’s hands. We’re honored that our technology is playing a role in shaping the future of CUAS operations and supporting the mission readiness of our allied forces.”
