The U.S. Marine Corps has much at stake with the F-35B Short Takeoff and Landing (STOVL) version of the Joint Strike Fighter. In a strategic gamble, the Corps has shaped an amphibious force around the technology and capabilities promised by this program. To support the nations expeditionary force in readiness, the conceptual capabilities of this platform will continue to provide a unique and powerful piece of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). Facing an uncertain future, the Marine Corps continuously defends its fixed-wing strike/fighter programs within the Naval Aviation community and the Department of Defense. Little has been published on alternatives to this aircraft. This SRP analyzes the capabilities of STOVL, recommends a future course of action, and champions the use of a Vertical Unmanned Aerial System to enhance the MAGTF.
