Training Exercises

A US Air Force C-146 Wolfhound aircraft struck a concrete barrier while attempting to take off from a roadway in northern Philippines during a training exercise, injuring five US personnel. The incident occurred on February 24, 2026, as part of an alternate landing zone drill aimed at preparing forces for scenarios with unusable airports and runways.

Saab is developing AR3, an AI-assisted after-action review platform designed to provide real-time performance feedback to warfighters during training exercises. The minimum viable product will launch in Q2 2026, leveraging artificial intelligence to analyze vast amounts of training data from exercise control systems, sensors, and GPS devices.
