METAMAG demonstrated its TRL-9 Auto-Tune Filter (AtF) technology during the U.S. Army's Operation Lethal Eagle, conducted from January 18 to February 7, 2026. In partnership with the 101st Airborne Division's Robotics and Autonomous Integration Directorate, the technology was tested in realistic electronic warfare scenarios.

The AtF units were integrated into unmanned aerial systems, including the Attritable Battlefield Enabler platform. Results showed that AtF enhances command-and-control survivability and electromagnetic resilience, allowing UAS to maintain integrity in high-power RF interference conditions. This advancement supports future integration of adaptive RF filtering technologies into Army unmanned systems.
