Uncrewed systems and other emerging technologies are changing the battlefield exceptionally quickly.
Seventy-two hours of continuous operations, more than 60 kilometres of mountain terrain, over 1,000 metres of elevation gain and little room for error.
A drone can detect the movement of people or vehicles. A sensor can pick up a signal, and a reconnaissance patrol can describe conditions on the ground.
