The US Marine Corps has launched a new competitive drone team to enhance future warfare preparation.
The team aims to integrate advanced drone tactics inspired by the war in Ukraine and the rapid proliferation of armed first-person view drone technology and tactics observed in modern conflicts.
The initiative reflects a shift in military strategy, focusing on cost-effective drone systems and ensuring that Marines remain agile, adaptive, and lethal in the modern battlespace.
The Marine Corps Attack Drone Team will represent the Corps in drone competitions worldwide, with its first competition scheduled for this summer at the National Drone Association's Military Drone Crucible Championship.
