The Marine Corps is learning to fight with uncrewed aerial systems, and there’s a lot to figure out. One Marine Corps leader said the potential for confusion on cluttered future battlefields “haunts” his dreams.
“Knowing what’s good guys versus bad guys, knowing what to kill and not to kill,” that sort of thing “haunts my dreams,” Col. Sean Hoewing, the director of the Marine Corps’ Capabilities Development Directorate’s Aviation Combat Element, said last week at the big annual Modern Day Marine expo in Washington, DC.
The push to develop counter-UAS capabilities coincides with the service’s efforts to develop its offensive capabilities.
