NORWAY —The current proliferation of modern technology such as inexpensive one-way attack drones, loitering munitions, and the increasing use of artificial intelligence for autonomous targeting has thrust the Marine Corps into a dynamic environment, creating a tactical shift in warfare unseen by warfighters since the widespread introduction of machine guns and tanks in World War I.

CORE 26 | Beneath Norway's Mountains, a Nearly Four Decade Alliance Stands Ready

Above the Arctic Circle, winter dominates the landscape. Snow blankets the mountains and subzero winds cut across frozen valleys. For most people, this terrain can feel remote and inhospitable. However, for U.S. Marines alongside NATO Allies and partners, it is a proving ground. In the Arctic, the environment can be as lethal as any adversary. This reality makes joint readiness, training, and the ability to rapidly mobilize equipment and personnel to crisis not optional, but essential to operational success in the event of armed conflict.

2nd Marine Logistics Group develops first Marine Corps NDAA Compliant 3D printed Drone

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – Amidst the Department of War’s “Drone Dominance” intent to acquire 300,000 one-way attack drones by calendar year 2028, 2nd Marine Logistics Group has developed the Marine Corps’ first National Defense Authorizing Act-compliant 3D printed drone. The drone, titled HANX, is a holistically adaptable approved platform that can be tailored to the needs of the warfighter. HANX marks a large leap from previous Marine Corps’ 3D printed drone capabilities, such as “nibbler” in 2017, which was not subject to the same compliance requirements that exist today to meet NDAA requirements. HANX being fully NDAA compliant means it is resilient to backdoor programs from our adversaries, making it a device that can be used by any Marine for their mission. U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Henry David Volpe is behind the creation of the 3D printed drone platform, helping to bring the Marine Corps into the next era of 3D print capabilities.
