The U.S. Marine Corps is intensifying its efforts to modernize its counter-drone capabilities in response to advancements by global competitors such as Russia and China. The Corps plans to deploy a variety of anti-drone technologies, including sensors and kinetic weapons, across the battlefield. These measures are aimed at enhancing the detection and neutralization of unmanned aerial threats. Additionally, the Marines are considering the establishment of a specialized drone air force, operated by trained soldiers. Some units are expected to receive portable anti-drone devices within the next year, with personal drone detectors being distributed in the next 12 months, as discussed at the Modern Day Marine conference.
