Drone Target Practice!Video by Petty Officer 2nd Class Antonio Turretto Ramos Navy Public Affairs Support Element West

A little something different today…from Operation Black Dart

An MH60R from Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 75 and an MH-60S from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 8 track and shoot down target drones in a live fire exercise off the coast of Naval Base Ventura Country Point Mugu during Operation Black Dart. Black Dart is the Department of Defense’s largest live fly, live fire counter unmanned aerial systems exercise held annually to bring service members from all branches of the military and industry leaders together to evaluate technology in unmanned systems and counter unmanned systems.
