During Project Sandhills 2.0 , soldiers planned flight routes and operated Bumblebee V2 small unmanned aircraft systems at Range 63. The project tested how unmanned systems could support contested obstacle breaching, while soldiers and industry partners collected feedback to inform future Army capabilities. The Army said the effort included autonomous trucks, robotic breaching payloads, drone swarms, mine detection and counter-UAS tools operating on…
