- US Marines launched a drone from a moving helicopter to scout a ship for a special operations boarding team
US Marines tested launching FPV drones from moving helicopters during a shipboarding exercise to scout target vessels and reduce mission risks. The experiment explored using helicopters as airborne command hubs and motherships for drones, mirroring tactics seen in Ukraine. The drones, primarily Nero Archer models, are cost-effective tools for maritime operations.
