    The image shows an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) navigating open water near a rocky breakwater. The dark-hulled autonomous vessel is equipped with sensors and a turret-mounted camera system on top, and bears the text 'KEEP BACK - USV' on its hull. The scene appears to be a coastal or harbor environment under clear skies.

    The Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) underwent a Field User Evaluation (FUE) which allowed Marines to receive hands-on practical application and testing in Camp Pendleton, CA, August 17-28, 2026. During the event, fleet users learned how to utilize waypoint navigation, deploy targets, verify locations, and finally put the system to the test on the water. The testing afforded Marines the opportunity to give feedback on the system to the program office during the development phase to ensure relevance and human-system interface in a near-operational environment.

    The image shows an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) operating on open water near a coastal residential area. The vessel is gray and black with orange markings and bears the text 'KEEP BACK - USV', indicating it is an autonomous or remotely operated watercraft. Palm trees and uniform tan-colored buildings are visible in the background, suggesting a Southern California or similar coastal environment.
    A military personnel member wearing camouflage uniform and an orange life vest is operating a ruggedized handheld drone or UAV ground control station while aboard a watercraft. The device displays what appears to be navigation/mapping data and possibly a live camera feed. The setting is on open water, suggesting a maritime reconnaissance or surveillance operation.
    A person is handling military-grade communications and UAV control equipment on what appears to be a watercraft. The equipment includes a rugged tablet-style UAV ground control station and a radio transceiver unit labeled 'USMC', connected via blue Ethernet and other cables. The setting appears to be an outdoor maritime environment in daylight.
