About this file
This document is a multi-page briefing for the 173rd Combat Forces Exercise (CFX) focused on demonstrating advanced military technologies and tactics across three primary operational scenarios: Defense in Depth, Counterattack, and CALFX Support. The exercise, conducted by SETAF-AF (Special Operations Enhanced Task Force - Africa), integrates cutting-edge unmanned and semi-autonomous systems to enhance military capabilities, with a primary innovation objective of employing robotic systems, counter-UAS technologies, and launched effects during realistic enemy engagements.
The exercise spans multiple operational lanes, featuring advanced technologies from companies like Lockheed Martin, EchoDyne, DroneShield, and Overland AI. Key technological demonstrations include autonomous and semi-autonomous capabilities such as robotic mine emplacement, AI-assisted targeting, unmanned resupply, casualty evacuation, drone swarm attacks, and integrated sensor networks. The scenarios simulate responses to potential threats, including a hypothetical terrorist organization and private military corporation, with a focus on breaching operations, defense strategies, and integrated human-machine teaming across counter-UAS, robotic maneuver, and intelligence gathering domains.
