During last month's multinational exercise Grand Quadriga 2026, German troops in Seedorf weren't just training with drones, they were also building them.
Instead of traditional live-fire drills, troops used reconnaissance drones, real-time data links and FPV systems to identify targets and engage them within seconds. FPV (first-person view) drones are unmanned aircraft piloted remotely fitted with an onboard camera, offering operators a live, direct view.
