• Lockheed Martin demonstrated CARI autonomous swarm-on-swarm counter-drone defense at the U.S. Army’s T-REX exercise on Sept. 9, 2026.
• Truck-mounted launchers deployed defensive UAVs integrated with the RMS Sanctum counter-UAS suite, forming a real-time 3D blocking “wall.”
• Onboard autonomy recalculated formations as hostile swarms moved or split, sustaining performance during temporary communications loss.
• Terminal-guidance mode enabled individual intercepts, supporting a shift from passive blocking to active engagement.
• Architecture was presented as airframe-agnostic, positioning Lion Swarm Autonomy for scalable counter-UAS deployment in contested, communications-denied environments.
