FALCON PEAK 25.2 was the second Department of War C-sUAS experiment focused on detecting, identifying, tracking, and mitigating sUAS incursions at DoW installations in the United States.  

The FALCON PEAK experiments serve to:  

• Educate the force on the threat posed by UAS 

• Stress the need for vigilance and investment 

• Synchronize industry, interagency, and DoW partners facilitating C-sUAS 

• This field capability experiment event is designed to observe new technologies, enhance collaboration, and provide developers with immediate feedback to accelerate the maturation of innovative capabilities with Department of War-wide applicability.  

• FALCON PEAK offers industry partners an opportunity to demonstrate cutting-edge technological solutions that improve response times and operational adaptability to defend against unmanned systems. The experiment is scheduled to occur during the first two weeks of September 2025.
