VMU-3 Phantoms Qual Patches — Drone Warriors Earning Their Wings

The Phantoms of VMU-3 award qual patches to operators who’ve proven their proficiency with unmanned aerial systems.

Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 3 (VMU-3), the Phantoms, operates the RQ-21 Blackjack unmanned aerial system from MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. These qualification patches recognize the operators, maintainers, and mission specialists who have achieved qualification milestones within the unmanned aviation community. VMU-3’s Phantoms provide tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance for Marine forces across the Pacific, and qualifying on unmanned systems requires technical expertise in both the aircraft and the sensor payloads they carry. Qual patches in the UAS community carry the same pride as those in manned aviation.

Perfect For: VMU-3 Phantoms qualified operators, RQ-21 Blackjack crews, Marine UAS professionals, Kaneohe Bay Marines, and unmanned aviation qualification patch collectors.

Phantoms — qualified to fly what pilots can’t see.
