MatrixSpace, a Massachusetts-based company, is enhancing low-altitude airspace awareness for M-SHORAD units in Pabradė, Lithuania, by deploying its portable AI-powered radar system. This initiative is part of the U.S. Army’s Flytrap 5.0 counter-drone exercise, taking place from May 1 to May 15, 2026. The announcement of MatrixSpace's involvement was made on May 12, following their recent success in the xTechCounter Strike competition during the previous Flytrap 4.5 exercise.
