U.S. Army Launches Drone-Deploying High-Altitude Balloons from Landing Craft in African Lion 26 Exercise
The U.S. Army tested a novel long-range precision strike capability last month during the African Lion 26 exercise off the coast of Morocco, launching multiple low-observable miniature high-altitude balloons from a landing craft. Developed by Mach Industries, the system deploys one-way attack drones and provides satellite communication links, aiming to extend operational reach without relying on conventional launch platforms.
