U.S. and Saudi forces linked sophisticated radar and sensors such as the Signal Hunter – a body- worn, passive radio frequency sensing and geolocation device – and the Buffer Passive Acoustic Detection System commonly known as “BPADS” to rapidly detect simulated air threats.
Red Sands also featured integrated command and control systems and shooters such as the Vanguard system, a scalable firing solution for eliminating drone swarms. Other ground-based counter-unmanned aerial systems included Skyguard; Shikra; the Mobile-Low, slow, unmanned Integrated Defeat System known as “MLIDS”; and electronic warfare options.
U.S. and Saudi units also flew rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft to detect, track and engage the simulated aerial threats, including AC-130 and AH-64 Apache airframes from the United States, and Saudi F-15s, AH-64s, and Typhoon fighter aircraft.
The training scenarios stress-tested each layer of the air defense architecture, including a final simulated defensive layer where Drone Defeat Rounds (DDRs) were fired from a 12-guage shotgun. Each shell contained 720 tungsten pellets that are denser than lead pellets to deliver significantly greater kinetic energy.
The Red Sands Integrated Experimentation Center is a forum for testing and developing technologies, tactics, and procedures for countering emerging unmanned aerial system threats. The initiative provides regional partners opportunities to work cooperatively, share best practices, develop technologies, and enhance interoperability.

U.S. Coast Guard @USCG - Big things are happening on the coast!
@USCG is laying the foundation for a stronger future with the recapitalization of Station South Padre Island, following significant fire damage. Under the leadership of @POTUS and @Sec_Noem, the Coast Guard is leveraging the historic investment presented by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to expand and modernize the station. This construction ensures the Service is equipped to safeguard the American people, defeat our adversaries, and protect the homeland at the southern border.

U.S. Department of Education @usedgov - It’s been 238 years since the U.S. Constitution was signed.
Today, we honor the foundation of our great nation – a living document that secures our freedoms, shapes our democracy, and unites us as Americans.

U.S. Department of Justice @TheJusticeDept - Justice Department Secures Denaturalization of Maryland Man Who Repeatedly Raped Minor Victim
“American citizenship is a sacred privilege that this monster should never have obtained,” said @AGPamBondi. “This Department of Justice will continue working to denaturalize criminals like these who lie about their past actions to take advantage of our immigration system.”
