PHILIPPINE SEA (Feb. 3, 2022) U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Christian Gunney, an unmanned aerial system operator, assigned to the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit assembles a Stalker unmanned aerial system aboard Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) in support of Exercise Noble Fusion, Feb. 3, 2022. The Stalker is a rapidly deployable unmanned aerial system that can be employed in a variety of locations and in multiple configurations to increase battlespace awareness by enhancing surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. Noble Fusion demonstrates that Navy and Marine Corps forward-deployed, stand-in naval expeditionary forces can operate as a Marine Expeditionary Unit/Amphibious Ready Group team at sea, along with a carrier strike group, in order to conduct lethal sea-denial operations, seize key maritime terrain, guarantee freedom of movement, and create advantage for U.S., partner, and allied forces.
