Project Flytrap: Accelerating Offensive Maneuver through Data-Centric Kill Web | AUSA 2026

At the 2026 AUSA Warriors Corner, Col. Timothy Price, Regimental Commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, and Col. Charles W. Kean, Deputy Commanding Officer – Support, 7th Infantry Division, discussed Project Flytrap, an effort to accelerate offensive maneuver in drone-saturated and electronic warfare-contested environments.

The session covered how the tactical kill web must dynamically adapt to emerging threats, with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment leading the Army in developing tactics and experimenting with technology to counter unmanned aerial systems during offensive maneuvers. Project Flytrap validates the integration of mobile, platform-agnostic C-UAS capabilities at the brigade level. As the project transitions to Phase II, these capabilities are being scaled to inform Army-wide force modification alongside NATO Allies and partners.
