    A small racing or FPV (First Person View) drone is captured mid-flight against a partly cloudy blue sky. The drone appears to be a custom-built quadcopter with visible components including what appears to be a battery and antenna. The image was taken from below, looking upward, with the drone positioned in the center-right of the frame.

    An unmanned aircraft system conducts a flight demonstration following the assembly of its components during a distributed manufacturing demonstration as part of Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2026 at Makua Range, Hawaii, July 8, 2026. The demonstration validated a full-cycle logistics concept that included transporting components aboard a digitally crewed surface vessel, assembling the aircraft, and conducting a flight test. Thirty nations, 30 ships, five submarines, 15 national land forces, more than 190 aircraft and more than 30,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC in and around the Hawaiian Islands, June 24 to July 31. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity while fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships among participants critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2026 is the 30th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Katherine Eldridge.)

    Three military personnel in camouflage uniforms are working on a small unmanned surface vessel (USV) on a sandy beach shoreline. They appear to be loading or securing equipment, including what looks like a hard-shell case, onto the gray autonomous boat. A military installation or facility is visible across the water in the background.
    The image shows a naval vessel's stern ramp deployed at sea, with a small unmanned surface vessel (USV) labeled 'T-06' and marked 'UNMANNED VESSEL - STAY CLEAR' being launched or recovered. Personnel wearing safety gear including hard hats and life vests are observing and documenting the operation from inside the ship's well deck. A large thruster or propeller housing is visible in the background, labeled 'PROPELLER'.
    A group of military personnel and a civilian are gathered around a table working with small electronic components and drone parts. A U.S. Army Sergeant named 'LATU' is instructing or demonstrating something to a U.S. Marine, while another Marine works independently on the left. A civilian observer wearing glasses looks on from behind.
    A U.S. Army soldier identified by name tape as 'LATU' is performing soldering work on electronic components at a workbench, alongside at least two other individuals. The soldier is wearing OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform with a U.S. flag patch and what appears to be an aviator badge. The scene appears to be a technical workshop or training environment focused on drone or small electronics assembly and repair.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms and civilians are gathered outdoors in a grassy field, looking upward — likely observing a drone or aerial device in operation. Several individuals are holding controllers or wearing FPV goggles, suggesting a drone demonstration or training exercise. The setting appears to be a rural or training area with hills and vegetation in the background.
