Matt Cornachio, a fires project officer with MCWL, told reporters that Marines were aiming to have as many as 15 suicide drones in a swarm controlled by a single Marine. That\u2019s part of the effort to bring \u201cloitering munitions\u201d work, which goes beyond traditional kinetic fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, experiments had reached as many as six drones under one Marine\u2019s control at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond standard munitions payloads, the experiments also worked with surveillance and reconnaissance, signals intelligence and command and control payloads, Wortman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith those manned-unmanned teaming events, we\u2019re recognizing a lot of options for really sophisticated combined arms integration,\u201d Wortman said. \u201cWe\u2019re really just starting to tap the full potential on these systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past eight months, the Corps has held four major training events to help build recommendations for modernization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They conducted a fifth generation Advanced Naval Training Exercise at Camp Pendleton, California, a fires assessment in May, the manned-unmanned teaming evaluation in late October through early November and the Squad X, a project that both the Army and Marines participated in that was held by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next year, they\u2019ll conduct three \u201cFight the Naval Force Forward\u201d ANTX events to inform Sea Dragon efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the technology evaluations, MCWL has also been involved in large-scale wargaming and is building a cadre of eight to 10 individuals as a permanent experimental opposition force. This group of civilians will come bring expertise for all domains and challenge amphibious and expeditionary capabilities, Wortman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
