MCAV Team 42

MCAV Team 42 was established in 2016 as part of the U.S. Marine Corps’ expansion into advanced autonomous vehicle operations. Initially focused on the integration and field-testing of unmanned ground and aerial systems, the unit quickly became a pioneer in multi-domain robotic warfare. MCAV Team 42 played a pivotal role during the 2021 Pacific Resolve exercises, where it successfully coordinated manned-unmanned teaming in contested environments. Renowned for its innovation and adaptability, the team continues to influence the development of next-generation Marine Corps tactics and technology.
