    Two military personnel wearing MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms are working at a folding table set up outdoors under a canopy. The central figure, wearing glasses and hair in a bun, is leaning over the table handling electronic equipment. The setting appears to be a field operations site with rocky terrain visible in the background.

    U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Alexandra Oruz, an instructor with Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems School, Advanced Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry – East, and a native of Florida, conducts a preflight inspection on a Neros Archer first-person view drone during a live fire test of lethal munitions on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, July 9, 2026. This event demonstrates that the VXE30 Stalker has the capability of integrating aerial strike capabilities of lethal munitions and deploying the Neros Archer first person view drone at the tactical level.

    Two military personnel wearing MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms are working at a folding table set up outdoors under a canopy. The central figure, wearing glasses and hair in a bun, is leaning over the table handling electronic equipment. The setting appears to be a field operations site with rocky terrain visible in the background.
    A female military service member in MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniform is closely inspecting or preparing a quadcopter FPV (First Person View) drone. She is holding the drone at eye level, examining it carefully in what appears to be an outdoor training environment. The setting suggests a military drone training or operational exercise.
    Two U.S. Marines in MARPAT digital camouflage uniforms are seated at a table under a canopy, operating what appears to be a drone or unmanned aerial system. The Marine on the right is wearing FPV (First Person View) goggles branded 'ARK' and holding a remote controller, while the Marine on the left monitors equipment. This appears to be a drone operation or training exercise conducted outdoors.
    Two U.S. Marines in MARPAT camouflage uniforms are working together to assemble or inspect a small unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) on a table in an outdoor setting. Both personnel are leaning over the equipment, appearing to connect wiring or components on the drone. The setting appears to be a field training or exercise environment with a tent, folding tables, and a cooler visible in the background.
    Two individuals wearing US Marine Corps MARPAT digital camouflage uniforms are assembling or preparing a small drone/UAV on what appears to be a portable case or work surface. The drone has visible antennas, a camera mount, and orange-accented frame components. This appears to be a field preparation or maintenance activity involving a small unmanned aerial system.
    The image shows a fixed-wing UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) designated 'STALKER 880' resting on a ground launch/support stand on a gravel surface. The drone features a twin-boom pusher configuration with vertical takeoff rotors mounted above the fuselage, suggesting a VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) hybrid design. The aircraft appears to be in a pre-flight or post-flight ground state in an outdoor field environment.
    A fixed-wing UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) with multiple rotors is captured in low-altitude flight over an open field. The aircraft appears to be a hybrid VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) drone, combining fixed-wing design with multiple electric rotors mounted along the wings. Dust or smoke is visible near the ground below, suggesting a recent takeoff or nearby disturbance.
    A small quadcopter drone is captured mid-flight in an outdoor setting near a treeline of tall pine trees. On the right side of the frame, a tripod-mounted device — likely a drone detection, tracking, or counter-drone system — is pointed toward the airborne drone. The scene appears to be a controlled test or demonstration environment, possibly military or research-related.
    A fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is captured at low altitude during takeoff or landing on a gravel/dirt strip, with dust being kicked up beneath it. The aircraft features a pusher propeller configuration, twin-boom tail design, and multiple rotors suggesting a hybrid VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) capability. The setting is a rural or military training area surrounded by tall grass, scrub vegetation, and a tree line in the background.
    A military service member in MARPAT (Marine pattern) digital camouflage uniform is crouching on a gravel surface while closely inspecting or adjusting a small quadcopter drone attached beneath a larger fixed-wing UAV. The individual is wearing glasses and a watch, and appears to be conducting a pre-flight check or maintenance on the unmanned aerial systems. The setting appears to be an outdoor airfield or training area under clear blue skies.
    Five military personnel in MARPAT camouflage uniforms pose together on a gravel path in front of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The group includes both male and female service members standing with hands on hips in a confident posture. Two distinct UAV systems are visible in the foreground, including a fixed-wing drone marked '880' and a smaller quadcopter.
