U.S. Army Spc. Abigail Bruers, a military intelligence systems maintainer assigned to Alpha Company, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 34th Infantry Division “Red Bulls,” recovers a variable height antenna, or tethered drone, after a simulated precision landing during a certification training, May 30, 2024, in the U.S. Central Command area of operations. The variable height antenna is a tethered drone that hovers 200 feet above ground and relays radio transmissions by extending the line of sight. It is part of the integrated tactical network kit which includes a combination of military and commercial tools that will enhance the unit’s ability to conduct tactical communications and is part of the Army’s overall modernization efforts. A precision landing is used when the drone loses communication and must be manually landed nearby. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Mahsima Alkamooneh)
