Royal Marines cut drone resupply launch time to three minutes by day

Drone operators from the Malloy Flight of 48 Commando's Delta Squadron say newly trained teams can now prepare and launch an uncrewed logistics sortie in three minutes by day and five by night. They refined the procedures during five days at the Spadeadam Training Area in Cumbria. The goal is to limit how long launch teams are exposed to enemy detection.
