There is no need for a launcher or runway for expeditionary field operations. Integrated into the UAV are two sensor systems designed to identify potential IED threats. They consist of a high-definition electro-optical sensor and an unintentional electromagnetic emissions sensor. &#8220;IEDs are the single greatest threat to the lives and safety of our men and women serving our [...]]]></description>
