Press Release, Warrenton, 29 July 2025: DroneShield, a global leader in counter-unmanned aerial systems (CUAS) technology, is proud to announce its participation in Project FlyTrap, a multinational defence initiative led by the US Army V Corps. This critical exercise, running from June to August 2025 in Germany and Poland, brings together United States and United Kingdom forces to advance CUAS capabilities in response to rapidly evolving aerial threats on the modern battlefield.

DroneShield has been exclusively focused on CUAS technology for over eleven years and has deployed nearly 4,000 units across more than 40 countries. Notably, DroneShield’s counter-drone technologies have been deployed to Ukraine since the onset of the conflict, proving their reliability and effectiveness in real-world combat. This battle-tested experience further highlights the company’s commitment to providing proven, operational solutions for countering drone threats and has made it a key player in the defence sector.

“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,” said Tom Branstetter, VP of Business Development and Sales at DroneShield. “We’re honoured that our technology is playing a role in shaping the future of CUAS operations and supporting the mission readiness of our allied forces.”

Project FlyTrap reflects the ongoing evolution of counter-drone efforts among NATO allies, particularly in response to the escalating drone threats observed in recent conflicts, such as the war in Ukraine. By participating in this exercise, DroneShield continues to reinforce its position as a trusted partner in the defence industry and a key enabler of future-ready security solutions.
