U.S. Soldiers assigned to 3rd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division test and ready their equipment prior to a demonstration of new Army technology for Lt. Gen. Joseph A. Ryan, deputy chief of staff of operations, plans, and training for the U.S. Army, during exercise Combined Resolve 25-1 at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center, Hohenfels Training Area, Hohenfels, Germany, Jan. 15, 2025.
During Combined Resolve 25-1, the U.S. Army is implementing its Transformation in Contact initiative, utilizing new technologies and systems designed to enhance its warfighting readiness and ability to respond to crisis or conflict.
Able to be employed in less than a minute, the Skydio X2D quadcopter is an American-made Small Unmanned Aircraft System intended for the platoon echelon, rucksack portable and capable of high-resolution video to enable day/night aerial reconnaissance out to three kilometers.
Intended to be operated from the company echelon, the Ghost-X Medium Range Reconnaissance rotor drone system provides high quality day and night video, extends network communication, and supports rapid sensor-to-shooter targeting with organic indirect fires and loitering munitions.
The Silent Tactical Energy Enhanced Dismount (STEED) is an all-terrain, electric payload mobility platform which is tactically silent and can carry up to 500 pounds for 15-30 miles over difficult terrain.
