 The Corps wants vertical take-off capability for its RQ-21 Blackjack drone
By: Shawn Snow  

The Corps’ tiny InstantEye quadcopters fielded to the rifle squads take off with ease from a Marine’s hand and require no additional equipment for launch.

Now the Corps wants the same capability for its much larger group three drone known as the RQ-21 Blackjack.

According to the Corps’ 2019 aviation plan, the Marines are in pursuit of a vertical take-off and landing, or VTOL, kit for the Blackjack.
