The second, in March, worked Multi-Domain Operations tasks. While the third, in June, doubled the number of units and platforms being used and tested the Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control interoperability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This most recent event worked through Joint All-Domain Operations with the addition of deep troves of an intelligence agency\u2019s data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scarlet Dragon is using existing platforms and networks to harness that imagery so that leaders can use it to identify certain targets in a vast array of options. The software for the project comes out of the Pentagon\u2019s Project Maven, an algorithm-based tool used to quickly process drone video for target ID and selection which started in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday\u2019s iteration worked through all steps to drop two GBU-32 bonds on range targets after scanning possible targets in a 7,200 square kilometer area stretching from Virginia to Georgia, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Scarlet Dragon series is designed to increase our joint warfighting capability and how AI-augmented decision making significantly increases the scale, speed and accuracy of our targeting process,\u201d Lt. Gen. Erik Kurilla, XVIII Airborne Corps commander told Army Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps is using today\u2019s technology to increase that capability with other services, Kurilla said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of that tech included fires support elements from II Marine Expeditionary Force, F-35s from 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, A-10s out of 75th Fighter Squadron, F-15s with the Air Force\u2019s 4th Fighter Wing, an E-2 C\/D Hawkeye and F-18 from the Navy\u2019s Carrier Air Wing Three, Army 18th Field Artillery Brigade with High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, rotary wing aircraft, command and control and other assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s about seeking ways to achieve decision advantage in large-scale combat operations,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about learning, as an organization, how to employ data as a strategic asset in the joint fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"6000\" height=\"4000\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210929-A-SP179-005.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210929-A-SP179-005.jpg.jpg 6000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210929-A-SP179-005.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210929-A-SP179-005.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210929-A-SP179-005.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210929-A-SP179-005.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/210929-A-SP179-005.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 6000px) 100vw, 6000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 50th Expeditionary Signal Battalion (Enhanced) and 63rd Expeditionary Signal Battalion conducted a combined Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) communications exercise on Fort Bragg, North Carolina.(Capt.
