<\/u>Para hacer frente a la creciente amenaza que representan los drones, a\u00fan los operados por fuerzas irregulares en los m\u00e1s variados escenarios de conflicto en los que participa, el\u00a0Cuerpo de Marines de EUA\u00a0desarrolla y ensaya diferentes alternativas, que le permitan disponer de Defensa A\u00e9rea cercana org\u00e1nica, en los menores niveles de la conducci\u00f3n. Ello incluye veh\u00edculos livianos altamente m\u00f3viles, equipados con armas L\u00e1ser, misiles Stinger y sistemas electr\u00f3nicos de interferencia.<\/p>\n

\"\"Right now, Marine Corps vehicles are exposed, and threatened by\u00a0drones\u00a0and other airborne dangers that could target the entire ground fleet, which lacks built-in defenses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But testing, fielding and money is charging at the problem at all levels, two Marine generals told Congress on April 18 during a House Armed Services Committee hearing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That work will add\u00a0lasers\u00a0and\u00a0missiles\u00a0to the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, and is putting a counter-drone system on a two-person all-terrain vehicle.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Committee Chairman Rep. Michael Turner, R-Ohio, asked what the Marines Corps is doing about its air defense vulnerability: \u201cWe are aware that the Marine ground units are almost wholly without an effective organic air defense system.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They\u2019ve got a lot of catching up to do. Air defense work hasn\u2019t been a priority for the Marines since the end of the Cold War.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Lt. Gen. Robert Walsh, head of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command, rattled off a list of efforts that Marines are pursuing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He described an approach that includes counter-drone technology, counter-electronic warfare, missiles and lasers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

And it\u2019s at the lowest level of vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

One such device, the Lightweight Marine Air Defense System has been fielded on 14 Marine RZRs, the all-terrain vehicle used by reconnaissance Marines to access remote locations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That work will continue, said Lt. Gen. Joe Shrader, head of Marine Corps Systems Command.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Corps is integrating Stinger missiles for both rotary and fixed-wing air defense on its Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, the eventual Humvee and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles that have been in use in recent decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Marines are using a disposable, lightweight drone called \u201cCoyote\u201d that have shown capabilities of launching in swarms, according to Raytheon, which manufactures the drone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

For electronic warfare they\u2019ve got the Modi, a man-packable EW countermeasure device that can disrupt enemy communications, especially useful for jamming radio-controlled IEDs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Shrader added that the Marines are also working with the Army as they field a vehicle-mounted, 2-kW laser to disable drones on the JLTV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
