It reads like a Steven Spielberg movie script for some future U.S. Marine Corps drone battle that combines swarms of unmanned aircraft systems and ground-crawling robots to provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and clear landing zones: "Working from our F-35 feeds, we sent up our UAS killers to take out their crew-served positions and command posts. To deal with the extra distance and additional weight from our organic precision fires ... we utilized a mix of ultralight vehicles and robotic cargo systems. During the actual vertical assault, information coming in from manned recon elements, unmanned ground sensors and overhead ISR feeds let me understand the state of the LZs [landing zones] and gave me near real-time targeting data."
