This fist-sized drone is used for reconnaissance by Marines. Cheap, light, and effectively disposable, the Black Hornet is equipped with night vision, thermal, and optical cameras as well as a laser range-finder, allowing Marines to use the drone for target acquisition and observation.

One or more Black Hornets are typically carried per squad, and are often operated by a squad leader or an assistant squad leader specialized as a drone operator.
