Newest sUAS technology demonstrated at Game of Drones 26-2

Yehor Balytskyi, founder and chief executive officer of Thermopylae Aerospace, briefs Brig. Gen. Mark Massaro, commander of the Air Force Test Center, and Chief Master Sgt. Sevin Balkuvvar, Air Force Test Center command chief, during the “Game of Drones” event at Edwards Air Force Base, California, July 16, 2026. The event provided Air Force leaders with an opportunity to engage directly with industry innovators demonstrating emerging autonomous and counter-small unmanned aerial system technologies while discussing their potential applications for future testing and operational use. These evaluations will help accelerate placement onto the sUAS Blue List, strengthening efforts to meet the Secretary of War’s Drone Dominance initiative. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
