The Marine Corps has initiated a new competitive drone team, the Marine Corps Attack Drone Team, in response to evolving warfare. Led by Maj. Alejandro Tavizon, the team is designed to refine drone tactics influenced by the recent conflicts in Ukraine, as unmanned systems become central to modern combat. The Corps emphasizes the need for agility and adaptability in their operations, ensuring military effectiveness through advanced technology. This innovative endeavor embodies a strategic pivot towards cost-effective drone solutions, aligning with contemporary warfare trends and preparing Marines for future challenges on the battlefield.
"Today's battlefield is changing rapidly, and we must adapt just as quickly," said Maj. Alejandro Tavizon, headquarters company commander at Weapons Training Battalion.
"The Marine Corps Attack Drone Team will ensure that our warfighters remain at the forefront of precision drone employment, providing a critical advantage in future conflicts," he said.
"By leveraging emerging technologies and refining drone employment tactics, we are ensuring that Marines remain agile, adaptive, and lethal in the modern battlespace," Tavizon added.
The creation of MCADT comes in response to the rapid proliferation of armed first-person view drone technology and tactics observed in modern conflicts, particularly in Eastern Europe.
