U.S. Army Integrates Apache Helicopters and Radar in New Drone-Deception and Counter-UAS Tactics
The U.S. Army is advancing new counter-drone and deception strategies through Project Flytrap and Operation Skyfall II. Recent exercises in Germany demonstrated AH-64 Apache helicopters destroying drones using data from ground-based Sentinel radars. Simultaneously, Army leaders outlined how uncrewed systems can deceive adversaries by mimicking signatures and forcing enemy electronic warfare systems to reveal themselves, marking a shift toward networked, multi-domain defense concepts.
