2nd Marine Logistics Group develops first Marine Corps NDAA Compliant 3D printed Drone

Lance Cpl. Javier Santillan — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 14:27:00 GMT

Amidst the Department of War’s “Drone Dominance” intent to acquire 300,000 one-way attack drones by calendar year 2028, 2nd Marine Logistics Group has developed the Marine Corps’ first National Defense Authorizing Act-compliant 3D printed drone. The drone, titled HANX, is a holistically adaptable approved platform that can be tailored to the needs of the warfighter. HANX marks a large leap from previous Marine Corps’ 3D printed drone capabilities, such as “nibbler” in 2017, which was not subject to the same compliance requirements that exist today to meet NDAA requirements. HANX being fully NDAA compliant means it is resilient to backdoor programs from our adversaries, making it a device that can be used by any Marine for their mission. U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Henry David Volpe is behind the creation of the 3D printed drone platform, helping to bring the Marine Corps into the next era of 3D print capabilities.
