    • Abstract:
      Counter-drone gear manufacturers had the opportunity to showcase their products and receive feedback from U.S. soldiers who have encountered enemy drones in combat. The event, called "Operation Hard Kill," took place in Fort Drum, New York, and involved the 10th Mountain Division and the Army's Combat Capabilities Development Command. The soldiers' firsthand experiences with drones that have impacted their bases inform the development of counter-drone weapons. The goal is to eventually establish counter-drone ranges at every home station in the U.S. to train soldiers across different divisions. [Extracted from the article]
