NON-KINETIC RED FORCE SCENARIOS FOR COUNTER-UAS TESTING
Validate counter-UAS systems against coordinated drone swarm threats through realistic engagement testing and survivability assessment.
• Drone detection performance
• Threat prioritization logic
• Engagement workflows and system response
• Operator response under pressure​
• System survivability against coordinated attacks
• Autonomous swarm coordination and mission logic
​​​​​
Systems are evaluated against coordinated multirotor and fixed-wing threat behaviors rather than scripted flight paths.

Gambit AI
Pendleton UAS Range and Gambit AI have partnered to deliver Red Force as a Service for counter-UAS testing and training.
​
Pendleton provides the controlled airspace, infrastructure, and operational governance, while Gambit delivers adaptive swarm intelligence enabling coordinated drone behavior.
​
Together, the partnership creates a realistic non-kinetic evaluation environment where counter-UAS systems can be tested against coordinated adversary behavior rather than predictable flight paths.
REALISTIC COUNTER-UAS TESTING
Pendleton Swarm Threat Emulation enables counter-UAS systems to be evaluated against coordinated drone behavior rather than scripted flight paths.
​
Using agile adversary force scenarios and instrumented autonomous targets, systems can be tested against realistic multi-aircraft threat conditions, including both multirotor and fixed-wing platforms, in a controlled, non-kinetic environment.​
HOW IT WORKS
1. Define Your Scenario
Customers work with Pendleton and Gambit teams to define test objectives and threat profiles.
2. Execute Red Force Operations
Coordinated drone scenarios are conducted in controlled airspace to stress detection, engagement workflows, and operator response.
3. Review Performance Data
Participants receive mission debriefs and drone flight logs for detailed system performance analysis.
STANDARD CUAS RED FORCE PACKAGE
Package includes:​​
​• Up to 5 multicopter and fixed-wing drone platforms
(5"–7")
• Up to 5 days of Red Force support
• Unlimited flights during testing window
• Customizable threat profiles
• Multi-axis and altitude-varying scenarios
• Executive summary and event debrief
• Flight log data for analysis
Threat scenarios may include:
• Single-drone baseline tests
• Coordinated multi-drone attacks
• Multi-axis approach profiles
• Gradually increasing complexity
​​
Threat scenarios may begin with a single drone and progressively increase to coordinated multi-drone engagements, allowing systems to be evaluated against increasingly complex swarm behaviors.
LIVE RED FORCE DEMONSTRATION
- APRIL 23, 2026
Pendleton UAS Range will host a live demonstration showcasing Red Force scenarios used to evaluate counter-UAS systems against coordinated drone threats.
​
Attendees will observe:
• Coordinated multi-drone threat profiles
• Adaptive swarm behaviors
• Live system evaluation scenarios​
