Riggo Production Studio Delivers Creative Video Content of U.S. and Saudi Arabia Combined Counter-Unmanned Aerial System Exercise - The Largest Event of its Kind in the World, September 2024
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - illiNews -- In a remarkable display of combined military cooperation, the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia recently concluded the third iteration of the Red Sands Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (Counter-UAS) Hard Kill exercise. The largest exercise of its kind to date, Riggo Production Studio was chosen to film the event and create a documentary short while also providing a dynamic live audio-visual show featuring each of the 15 systems demonstrated during the live fire event.
US ARCENT, "This iteration of RED SANDS includes training, operational demonstrations, and the testing of 15 different systems employing various kinetic and non-kinetic techniques to destroy and disable unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and to counter the ever-growing threat of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). This is the third iteration of the annual exercise."
Held at the Red Sands Integrated Experimentation Center, this three-week demonstration and assessment showcased cutting-edge technologies designed to counter the growing threat posed by lethal and loitering unmanned aerial systems. Production spanned 7 months with nearly 100 production meetings all leading up to the two weeks of rehearsals and first filming at Fort Drum New York before the production team landed in Saudi Arabia for the final weeks of production.
