Marine Corps experiments with unmanned systems are expected to continue into next year and beyond. The US Marine Corps has purchased a number of PD-100 Black Hornet drones, the smallest operational model available in the market. Created by Proxdynamics of Norway, the pocket-sized unmanned aerial vehicle weighs 18g, the same as three sheets of paper. Features include day- and night-vision cameras and remote operation through a tablet and controller. The drones cost $50-60,000, and are already used by 19 NATO-allied countries’ military forces. A new report claims that the Trump administration is ginning up fake intelligence about Iran blowing up oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz to justify a war against Iran.
