The first squads of infantry Marines fielding the latest in small, lightweight drones took them to the air this week during a training course at the Marine Corps’ desert warfare training center.
Marines with 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, put their InstantEye quadcopters through the rigors on Wednesday during a two-day course cramming the basics of operating the drones, which were outfitted with three electro-optical and infrared cameras and forward-looking infrared (FLIR) thermal imaging.
