Every UASFeed story on U.S. Marine Corps — across defense, counter-UAS, industry, commercial, policy, and tech, newest first.
From Air Force officers flying MQ-9 Reapers to Army 15Ws at Fort Huachuca to squad-level FPV familiarization, a look at how the U.S. military actually trains drone operators, and how South Korea and Ukraine compare.
Read the story →A side-by-side comparison of the five ways drones are actually defeated today — kinetic interceptors, RF/GPS jamming, high-power microwave, directed-energy lasers, and net-capture systems — with range, cost per engagement, tradeoffs, and who's legally allowed to use each under SAFER SKIES.
A July 2 MARADMIN creates the Marine Corps Robotics Integration Group at Twentynine Palms to standardize Group 1/2 drone and counter-drone training service-wide, backed by an active hunt for team chiefs, SNCOs, intel officers and EW specialists.
A memo signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth creates a new joint office with milestone authority over nearly all Pentagon drone programs, pulling buying power away from the individual armed services.
Elroy Air will list on Nasdaq as ELRY via a merger with Columbus Circle Capital Corp II, valuing the hybrid-electric Chaparral cargo drone maker at roughly $1 billion.
The Naval Research Laboratory demonstrated a dual-use laser that wirelessly beams power to a forward base, switches to shoot down a drone in near-whiteout snow, then resumes power delivery without restarting — a field test built to gather real atmospheric-degradation data.
Israel's UVision Air builds the HERO loitering munition family in five variants — from a 3 kg squad-portable round to a 125 kg strategic weapon — all sharing a common operator interface. The Hero-120 was selected for the U.S. Marine Corps' OPF-M program in 2021 and has since drawn SOCOM, NATO, and U.S. Army interest.
Epirus's Leonidas achieved a 100% kill rate against 61 drones — including 49 in a single pulse — in a DoD demonstration. Here is how its solid-state GaN architecture works, what the Army and Marine Corps have bought, and where the technology stands today.
From a commercial fish-finder drone to front-line ISR in Ukraine, the Insitu ScanEagle and RQ-21A Blackjack are defined by a single design constraint: no runway needed. Here is how the platforms work, where they’ve fought, and why the formula endures.
Electronic jamming neutralizes more drones in Ukraine than any other method — roughly 10,000 per month — yet the newest generation of fiber-optic and AI-navigation drones is immune to it. A technical and legal primer on the RF physics, the US arsenal, and why civilians and companies have zero legal authority to jam.
From hobbyist racing roots to a $117,000 strike that damaged $7 billion worth of aircraft, FPV drones have rewritten the economics and geometry of ground combat. A technical and operational explainer.
From Israel's 1989 Harpy to Ukraine's Lancet hunter-killer teams, loitering munitions fuse sensor and effector into a single expendable platform — a category distinct from both the cruise missile and the reusable drone, and now in procurement at scale across 50-plus countries.
