The ongoing international military exercise 'Baltic Trust 26' is being conducted at the Sēlija training area in Latvia until August 14, 2026. The National Armed Forces of Latvia, together with the NATO Communications and Information Agency, are testing how drone and anti-drone technologies evolve from experimental stages to becoming an integral part of the battlefield. Drawing from the experience of the war in Ukraine, the exercise focuses on the operational use of autonomous systems in air, land, and maritime domains. The aim is to improve rapid identification of drone threats, response tactics, and interoperability of various national technologies within a unified NATO system.
