This year’s Trident Warrior 20 exercise saw the U.S. Marine Corp deploy four oceanographic sensors from its MV-22Bs for the first time.
Dropped into the Pacific Ocean by VMM-163, these sensors were previously deployed from the back of C-130s or directly by ships.
The data collected would provide the Marines with the best environmental awareness possible prior to conducting amphibious operations.
Trident Warrior is an annual large-scale field experiment in operational naval environments.
