This year, the Marine Corps will field dismounted counter-sUAS capabilities across the entire MAGTF, which will allow deployed Marines to effectively conduct self-defense against threat sUAS. The Marine Corps will maintain operational superiority and safeguard Marines, maritime forces, and the Joint Force against this evolving threat in diverse operational environments.
Under the leadership of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory the Joint First-Person View Working Group has succeeded in adding the Neros Archer FPV drone to the Blue UAS List marking the first time an FPV drone has achieved this status, a significant milestone not just for the Marine Corps but for the entire DoD.
