MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. – On January 3, 2025, the Commanding Generals of the Training Command, Maj. Gen. Anthony M. Henderson, and the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, Brig. Gen. Simon M. Doran, established the Marine Corps Attack Drone Team (MCADT) in response to the rapid proliferation of armed first-person-view (FPV) drone technology and tactics….
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) conceptualizes ultralow-cost unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) – often called “small UAS” (sUASs) – as both a threat to its operations and an opportunity for force multiplication. Counter-sUAS (C-sUAS) operations have become an organizational and financial priority for the Pentagon. While both DoD and individual military personnel have long been interested in the positive use cases for very lightweight, inexpensive…

As nontraditional, inland spaceports start to become operational, there is a need to understand the viability of deploying satellite constellations from these potential commercial offerings for launching. This work investigates how utilizing a small launch vehicle with these nontraditional spaceports can deploy a low Earth orbit constellation in each timeframe, competing with the traditional means…

Engineer, RAND
Samantha McBirney is an engineer at RAND, where she works on emerging technologies, industrial base operations and policy, and medical readiness and logistics. Her recent focus has involved advanced manufacturing and how leveraging this subset of technologies (to include additive manufacturing) within the Defense Department can contribute to increased readiness and better position the organic industrial base to serve as a source of production during national emergencies.
