    Staff Sgt. Dustin Decou and Sgt. Kevin Peach with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment look for nearby threats through the camera of a “dragon fire” at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., July 13, 2016. The system, meant to increase initial visibility of the enemy before the Marines need to engage them, was built by the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory. It can be tossed and kicked around, is invertible with front and rear cameras, and is both day and night capable. The lab is conducting a Marine Air-Ground Task Force Integrated Experiment in conjunction with Rim of the Pacific exercise to explore new gear and assess its capabilities for potential future use. The Warfighting Lab identifies possible challenges of the future, develops new warfighting concepts, and tests new ideas to help develop equipment that meets the challenges of the future operating environment.
