Becoming the enemy
A KestrelX JSX-2 microjet taxis during Exercise Northern Strike 2024-2, at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, Mich., Aug. 6, 2024. The U.S. Air Force uses the JSX-2 microjet, a small and agile aircraft, primarily for training purposes, particularly in simulating enemy unmanned aerial systems during large-scale military exercises like Northern Strike. The microjet’s small size, speed and maneuverability make it an effective tool for replicating the behavior of UAS, which are increasingly relevant in modern combat scenarios.
