The U.S. Air Force conducted an operational assessment of a new electronic countermeasures combat training pod -- dubbed "Angry Kitten" -- during 30 sorties over two weeks in April 2023.

The 556th Test and Evaluation Squadron (TES) ran the electronic warfare (EW) system through the first round of its ground and flight testing, using the Angry Kitten ALQ-167 electronic countermeasures (ECM) pod on a MQ-9A Reaper uncrewed aerial system (UAS); the testing occurred at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada.
