U.S. Marine Corps tests new Maven air-defense dashboard

U.S. Navy and Marine Corps teams demonstrated a prototype regional air-defence dashboard within the Maven Smart System at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma on October 5, 2026. Developed in less than two months by the Overmatch Rapid Capability Cell with Marine operators, the tool combines threat information and available defensive resources in a common command display. Personnel from Marine aircraft wings, MAWTS-1 and VMX-1 provided feedback during Weapons and Tactics Instructor course 1-27 to refine its integrated air-and-missile-defence functions. Beta testing during large-scale simulation exercises is planned to assess navigation, responsiveness and usefulness during exercise operations.
