ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Virginir -- 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.

Riggo Production Studio's Role: Intro Video


Annapolis-based Riggo Production Studio played a pivotal role in documenting the Red Sands event and planning the show flow of the  live event which was broadcast to military leadership and industry professionals on site via IMAG LED Walls flown in from the United States. Contracted by Troika Solutions, Riggo Production Studio's Torrey Pocock was the Executive Producer and Creative Director for the event hosted by the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces and  U.S. Army Central.

Under the leadership of Mariano Wecer of Troika Solutions, Riggo Studios became embedded in the Red Sands planning process, ensuring seamless coordination and high-quality production from the early concept to event completion.

The exercise took place at the Red Sands Integrated Experimentation
