  + stars: | 2024-05-03 | by ( Drew F. Lawrence | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Read previewThe Marine Corps wants to field better counter-drone capabilities yesterday. Since that is not possible, the service says it's looking to get them to Marines right now, or at least very soon. Over the last five years, the Marine Corps has been improving its counter-drone systems as it looks to reshape the force and compete with near-peer adversaries. US Marines observed targets during a counter-unmanned aircraft system (UAS) range on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. That challenge has only grown, according to officials Tuesday, and the need for the Marine Corps to thwart it is critical.

Two Navy SEALs went missing at sea during a raid to interdict smuggled Iranian weapons last week.
