The Northrop Grumman
MQ-8 Fire Scout is an unmanned autonomous helicopter developed for use
by the U.S. military. The UCAV is designed to provide reconnaissance,
situational awareness and precision targeting support for both land and sea
forces. In January 2006, an RQ-8A Fire Scout landed aboard the U.S. Navy warship U.S.S. Nashville while it was steaming off the coast of Maryland near the Patuxent River. This was the first time an unmanned helicopter has landed autonomously aboard a moving U.S. Navy ship, As of this writing, the RQ-8 remains a test vehicle that has yet to be deployed into an active theater of combat. |
