Meet HANX: The U.S. Marine Corp's first official 3D printed drone.

Sgt. Henry David Volpe with the 2nd Marine Logistics Group proudly shows off the HANX drone he designed, which is the Marine Corps' first National Defense Authorizing Act-compliant, 3D printed drone, providing "a secure and adaptable aerial platform for the modern warfighter," the Corps says. NDAA compliant means it is resilient to backdoor programs from adversaries, making it a device that can be used by any Marine for their mission.
