Brazil’s Army Puts Anti-Drone Defense to the Test in Goiás

Brazil's Army has tested anti-drone defenses during Sagitta Primus 2026, an exercise at the Campo de Instrução de Formosa in Goiás that coverage called the largest air-defense drill in Latin America. More than 500 soldiers from 23 Army organizations, backed by the Brazilian Air Force, paired Gepard cannons and machine guns with radio jammers from Brazilian firms IACIT and AICOX to detect, jam and shoot down small drones.
