U.S. Marines with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369, Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, familiarize AH-1Z Viper pilots with Hellfire missiles guided by the U.S. Navy MQ-8C Fire Scout in El Centro, California, Feb. 7, 2023. Hellfire missiles require constant line-of-sight laser guidance until impact for maximum effect. The goal of this test is to develop tactics and procedures with the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems as the target-control aircraft, mitigating risk by allowing missiles to be fired from longer range and terrain-masked positions.
