1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:01,560 Come on . 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,640 There is a saying that goes , you can't 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,751 raise your marines as you were raised 4 00:00:12,751 --> 00:00:14,751 because you were raised in a marine 5 00:00:14,751 --> 00:00:16,862 corps that no longer exists . This is 6 00:00:16,862 --> 00:00:19,029 based on an idea that the Marine Corps 7 00:00:19,029 --> 00:00:20,751 and the military as a whole is 8 00:00:20,751 --> 00:00:23,340 constantly evolving as technology 9 00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:27,160 advances . So our train 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,150 so our weaponry 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,940 system . So 12 00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:36,960 our tactics . 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,450 Yeah . Mhm . 14 00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:50,260 And so long warfare 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,080 from fighting on wooden ships at the 16 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,940 inception of the Marine Corps to 17 00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:58,051 landing on shores of the cores newest 18 00:00:58,051 --> 00:01:00,180 amphibious combat vehicles , we are 19 00:01:00,180 --> 00:01:02,347 constantly seeking methods to increase 20 00:01:02,347 --> 00:01:04,870 our reality . We would be fooling 21 00:01:04,870 --> 00:01:07,037 ourselves to think our adversaries are 22 00:01:07,037 --> 00:01:09,560 not attempting to evolve as well . Just 23 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,671 as we have sought out ways to improve 24 00:01:11,671 --> 00:01:13,782 our stance on the battlefield . So of 25 00:01:13,782 --> 00:01:15,949 our enemies , they have adapted to new 26 00:01:15,949 --> 00:01:17,949 technologies and weapons within the 27 00:01:17,949 --> 00:01:18,949 ranks . 28 00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:24,550 Sergeant robert han with sp mccaf 29 00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:26,920 aggressive response centcom . I am an O . 30 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,020 T . U 71 was their intelligence analyst . 31 00:01:30,030 --> 00:01:31,940 Past few years , the Terrace 32 00:01:31,940 --> 00:01:34,107 organizations have definitely involved 33 00:01:34,107 --> 00:01:37,240 their U . V . S . By um doing standard 34 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,790 operations of surveillance . Now using 35 00:01:40,790 --> 00:01:44,400 those uh you need to then conduct 36 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,380 attacks using either it's munition 37 00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:49,880 drops or it could be one way attacks 38 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,050 started with ISIS back in the early 39 00:01:56,050 --> 00:01:58,620 2000s and it's just gone uptick from 40 00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:02,140 there . It started with your standard 41 00:02:02,140 --> 00:02:04,090 off the shelf amazon purchase of a 42 00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:06,900 quadcopter in some dude's dropping 43 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,930 Like an M . 40 grenade to it and 44 00:02:11,930 --> 00:02:13,763 essentially trying to drop it on 45 00:02:13,763 --> 00:02:16,880 somebody uh where now it is highly 46 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,260 sophisticated . The operators are 47 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,062 definitely getting more proficient with 48 00:02:22,062 --> 00:02:24,229 the more advanced systems that you can 49 00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:26,680 buy commercially . Um whether that's 50 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,190 from traditional state actors or non 51 00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:31,490 state actors that are providing these 52 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:33,790 systems that thinking be bought and 53 00:02:33,790 --> 00:02:36,890 utilized the U . Of the threat Israel 54 00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:39,650 and it's gonna stay for a while . Mhm . 55 00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:42,360 As the United States and her partner 56 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,638 nations prepared to engage new threats , 57 00:02:44,638 --> 00:02:46,860 the Marine Corps is developing fighting 58 00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:49,082 tactics which can be carried out at the 59 00:02:49,082 --> 00:02:50,082 lowest levels . 60 00:02:54,940 --> 00:02:58,930 Mm basically what 61 00:02:58,930 --> 00:03:01,390 it does is uh it's to help combat 62 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,360 counter U . S . And U . S . Drones 63 00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:06,570 because in recent years terrorist cells 64 00:03:06,570 --> 00:03:09,280 such as Al Qaeda and Isis , they've 65 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,800 been using these US to use for recon . 66 00:03:12,810 --> 00:03:14,699 Uh they attach grenades to them , 67 00:03:14,699 --> 00:03:17,600 mortars acid even and uh they have 68 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,740 people as young as 13 , 14 years old 69 00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:21,851 flying these things because it's very 70 00:03:21,851 --> 00:03:23,962 uh very my generation is very easy to 71 00:03:23,962 --> 00:03:26,073 learn and they're getting really good 72 00:03:26,073 --> 00:03:28,184 at it . Here's how the Mattis works . 73 00:03:28,184 --> 00:03:31,050 The Mattis crew will turn the system on 74 00:03:31,060 --> 00:03:34,420 and scan the area if any U . S . Enters 75 00:03:34,420 --> 00:03:36,660 its proximity . The skyview processor 76 00:03:36,660 --> 00:03:38,827 that the Mattis utilizes will ping the 77 00:03:38,827 --> 00:03:41,520 drone from there . The Mattis crew will 78 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,980 contact the burdock and clear the US 79 00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:47,310 through air traffic control if the US 80 00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:49,532 comes back as hostile , the Mattis then 81 00:03:49,532 --> 00:03:51,890 uses its mODI system to shoot a GPS 82 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:54,200 electronic attack to bring the drone 83 00:03:54,210 --> 00:03:58,180 out of the sky . Uh I would say 84 00:03:58,190 --> 00:04:00,246 the employment guidelines we use for 85 00:04:00,246 --> 00:04:02,246 normal low altitude air defense and 86 00:04:02,246 --> 00:04:04,412 then they integrate actually very well 87 00:04:04,412 --> 00:04:06,523 with counter US as well , such as how 88 00:04:06,523 --> 00:04:08,468 to scan the sky for enemy aircraft 89 00:04:08,468 --> 00:04:10,690 except instead of a Russian hind , it's 90 00:04:10,690 --> 00:04:12,801 ADGI phantom off the shelf which is a 91 00:04:12,801 --> 00:04:14,746 lot smaller but the same principle 92 00:04:14,746 --> 00:04:16,710 applies . But in 2030 with the 93 00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:19,450 commandant shifting to end up a com uh 94 00:04:19,460 --> 00:04:21,627 the role that we're kind of looking to 95 00:04:21,627 --> 00:04:23,960 fill instead of a base defense role is 96 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,250 an island hopping campaign . Um So 97 00:04:26,250 --> 00:04:27,917 we're looking at more literal 98 00:04:27,917 --> 00:04:31,350 operations uh in in in dot com . So 99 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:34,670 basically using these vehicles as a as 100 00:04:34,670 --> 00:04:37,520 an air defense asset for low altitude 101 00:04:37,530 --> 00:04:40,030 on all these different islands to 102 00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:42,940 provide security for the G . C . L . C . 103 00:04:42,940 --> 00:04:46,240 In any uh any units that are on the on 104 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,700 the deck on top of the mat . A series 105 00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:52,010 of counter US devices . The Marine 106 00:04:52,010 --> 00:04:54,690 Corps also employs the clause which , 107 00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:56,811 although similar to the Mattis , is a 108 00:04:56,811 --> 00:04:58,533 kinetic defeat option that can 109 00:04:58,533 --> 00:05:00,700 physically destroy the unmanned aerial 110 00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:02,550 systems . 111 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,630 So the way we're utilizing claws out 112 00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:10,710 here is we're doing layer defense 113 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:13,560 around our base . Um , basically our 114 00:05:13,570 --> 00:05:15,630 main purpose is to get positive 115 00:05:15,630 --> 00:05:17,840 identification of groups 12 and three 116 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,540 drones , but Klaus um , the way it 117 00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:24,100 engages a target would basically , we 118 00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:26,156 had received some kind of indication 119 00:05:26,156 --> 00:05:28,156 saying that there's a target in the 120 00:05:28,156 --> 00:05:30,489 area . We would slough our camera to it , 121 00:05:30,489 --> 00:05:32,656 which is an I . R . Camera so we get a 122 00:05:32,656 --> 00:05:34,878 good heat signature and then from there 123 00:05:34,878 --> 00:05:36,600 we achieve a lock onto it . So 124 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,656 basically we were locking on so that 125 00:05:38,656 --> 00:05:40,711 the drone is automatically tracked . 126 00:05:40,711 --> 00:05:42,711 And then from there we can pull the 127 00:05:42,711 --> 00:05:44,933 trigger and we fire direct energy at it 128 00:05:44,933 --> 00:05:47,156 and eventually it will go down . So the 129 00:05:47,156 --> 00:05:49,330 different . And when using the clause 130 00:05:49,330 --> 00:05:52,020 where the Mattis , basically the clause 131 00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:55,960 is utilized for base defense . It can 132 00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:00,020 engage targets at a closer range and 133 00:06:00,030 --> 00:06:02,086 better defend a base than a Mattis . 134 00:06:02,086 --> 00:06:04,141 Can , mattresses are usually used on 135 00:06:04,141 --> 00:06:06,430 the go uh for quick like expeditionary 136 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,940 movement and allows us to set up and go 137 00:06:08,940 --> 00:06:11,950 whenever we need . These larger systems 138 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,016 are crucial in combating the growing 139 00:06:14,016 --> 00:06:17,580 counter US threats . Marines from all 140 00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:20,160 mos are getting hands on training with 141 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,500 handheld counter US devices . These 142 00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:25,640 devices , which are compact and 143 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,760 lightweight , can gain GPS and see to 144 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,390 control over the system and either land 145 00:06:31,390 --> 00:06:33,501 it immediately or send it back to its 146 00:06:33,501 --> 00:06:35,760 home . 147 00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:40,290 My name is staff sergeant Met and I am 148 00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:42,820 between 74th platoon part of the G . C . 149 00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:45,440 Uh two on echo company . We employ the 150 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,350 buster . The handheld system itself is 151 00:06:48,350 --> 00:06:50,461 not a stand alone system . It is part 152 00:06:50,461 --> 00:06:53,010 of a interlocking defense . Uh No 153 00:06:53,010 --> 00:06:55,121 different than the way that you would 154 00:06:55,121 --> 00:06:57,343 employ a company and within the defense 155 00:06:57,343 --> 00:06:59,510 there's multiple other counter serious 156 00:06:59,510 --> 00:07:01,830 systems that are utilized . This one is 157 00:07:01,830 --> 00:07:05,680 strictly allowing the user to protect 158 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,850 himself and or the area that is around 159 00:07:08,860 --> 00:07:10,749 that she's protecting her . She's 160 00:07:10,749 --> 00:07:12,582 protecting . They are capable of 161 00:07:13,030 --> 00:07:16,180 identifying things that automated 162 00:07:16,180 --> 00:07:18,291 systems cannot like audible signature 163 00:07:18,291 --> 00:07:20,540 visual signature . That uh human 164 00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:23,380 factors as esque of warfare doesn't 165 00:07:23,380 --> 00:07:25,269 really change because we're using 166 00:07:25,269 --> 00:07:27,102 unmanned systems . Uh It's still 167 00:07:27,102 --> 00:07:29,350 requiring that human factors proportion 168 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,960 uh to be able to identify these uh 169 00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:35,270 breath . These handheld systems allow 170 00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:37,381 the marines to create maximum impacts 171 00:07:37,381 --> 00:07:39,381 in the battle space while leaving a 172 00:07:39,381 --> 00:07:41,381 very minimal electronic footprint . 173 00:07:41,740 --> 00:07:44,730 Warfare is a concept that is always 174 00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:47,450 evolving as technology advances , it 175 00:07:47,450 --> 00:07:49,640 will become easier for devices to be 176 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,970 weaponized and even easier to place in 177 00:07:51,970 --> 00:07:54,190 the hands of our enemies . The Marine 178 00:07:54,190 --> 00:07:56,357 Corps is determined to always be ready 179 00:07:56,357 --> 00:07:58,500 to have a bias for action and to 180 00:07:58,500 --> 00:07:59,720 prepare to fight 181 00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:04,060 tonight .
