Henry Fridy, assigned to 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, configures the Beast+ electronic warfare system during Combined Resolve 25-02 at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center on Hohenfels Training Area, Hohenfels, Germany, May 7, 2025. Beast+ detects signals across the electromagnetic spectrum to identify enemy locations, composition, and potential jamming or spoofing activity, enhancing line-of-sight awareness in support of ground maneuver operations. Combined Resolve is part of the Army’s “Transforming in Contact” initiative, which assesses the effectiveness of electronic warfare and counter-unmanned aerial systems, as well as how force structure changes and current tactics align with emerging technologies.
