Rheinmetall Drone LUNA NG Demonstrates its Capabilities in the Bundeswehr’s New Reconnaissance and Operational Network

Friday, January 30th, 2026

Rheinmetall successfully participated in a visionary test conducted by the Bundeswehr at the Army Combat Training Centre in Saxony-Anhalt, using its LUNA NG unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system. The test focused on the reconnaissance and operational network. From target detection to counter-measures, only unmanned systems were used, including drones and loitering munitions. Drone swarms are worldwide considered a novelty, and as yet an untested technology in terms of future combat methods of modern armed forces worldwide.

Within the Bundeswehr, the LUNA NG reconnaissance drone is known as the HUSAR (Highly Efficient Unmanned System for Medium-Range Reconnaissance) project. During the test period at the Combat Training Centre, Rheinmetall successfully integrated the system with the Bundeswehr’s Command & Control Unmanned Management System (C2-UMS Bw). This allows LUNA NG to operate within reconnaissance and operational networks alongside other drones or loitering munitions. Notable features of the system include a flight time of over 12 hours and a maximum altitude of 5,000 metres.

Overall, the test at the Combat Training Centre was characterised by a high level of digitalisation and networking. It showed that the interaction of reconnaissance and operational networks reduces the required time to detect, mark and counter-attack a target significantly.

During testing, LUNA NG reliably processed short-term assignments, showcasing its exceptional reconnaissance capabilities. The system also boasts great endurance and operates quietly at high altitudes.

The other participants connected to the C2-UMS Bw receive a status information of a large operational area, as well as high-resolution target information, via LUNA NG. Additionally, sensor information is available in real time, giving ground units a complete picture of the situation.

Atrius Development Group Issues Call to Industry

Friday, January 30th, 2026

We received this statement from Atrius Development Group:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — STATEMENT ON RARE BREED PATENT ALLEGATIONS

January 30, 2026

Atrius Development Group issues the following statement to its distributors and retail partners regarding the frivolous patent assertions made by Rare Breed against the Second Amendment community.

Prior to bringing the Atrius products to market, Atrius has opinions from numerous large patent law firms that Atrius products do not infringe on any existing patents.

“Atrius Development Group stands behind its products and will support our distribution and retail partners whose Second Amendment rights are being violated via patent litigation by Rare Breed,” said Ryan Spadafore, CEO of Atrius Development Group.

“The false and frivolous Rare Breed claims have been evaluated and will be addressed directly in the appropriate forum. We believe the bullying tactics of Rare Breed are dishonorable and an insult to the Second Amendment community.”

Rare Breed has made allegations concerning our Atrius products and has chosen the cowardly action of opening/threatening litigation against those in our dealer network in an attempt to destabilize what the Super Safety Community has built in the wake of Rare Breed bending the knee to the ATF. They prefer to feed their greed and use unethical lawfare against individuals like Tim Hoffman, of Hoffman Tactical, all while claiming benevolence and altruism.

Atrius Development Group is the backstop to these actions.

Atrius Development Group encourages any distributor or retailer in receipt of frivolous claims from Rare Breed relating to Atrius products to promptly notify Atrius leadership so the company can coordinate an appropriate response and provide immediate support. Atrius remains confident in its legal position and in the continued supply and availability of its products. We will continue to fight for the expanded access of parts and accessories that advance the Second Amendment, no matter what forces stand in our way.

More power to the Dealers. Together we win.

Stay Blessed,

TEAM ATRIUS
