The Soldier-Kit system consists of detector, jammer, tablet and wideband antenna and is being evaluated as part of Project Flytrap 3.0 counter uncrewed aerial system (CUAS) exercise.
Danish company MyDefence has announced that it has already delivered dozens of Soldier-Kit CUASs to the US Army less than a week after the company revealed the US$26 million contract. The order is believed to be for 485 systems.
The contract was initially placed more than a month ago and the company announced in June that the second order as part of the contract had been dispatched.
The company also announced in mid-June that “one shipment has just arrived on-site, where end-users are already receiving training directly from our engineers - ensuring immediate readiness and seamless integration into their operations”.
