Background: Dragon Eye fulfills the first tier of the Marine Corps UA Roadmap by providing the company/platoon/squad level with an organic RSTA capability out to 10 km (5 nm).  The first prototype flew in May 2000, with low rate production contracts (40 aircraft) awarded to AeroVironment and BAI Aerosystems in July 2001.  In March 2003 the Marine Corps awarded a production contract to AeroVironment following a user operational assessment.  IOC has been completed.  A total of 467 systems, each with three aircraft and one ground station, are planned.  The Dragon Eye program has resulted in several other UA development activities.  Swift is a system derived from a Dragon Eye UA and a Raven GCS, Evolution an export version by BAI, and Sea-All an ONR initiative.

Force Protection Aerial Surveillance System (FPASS)
Background: FPASS is designed for ease of use by Air Force security personnel to improve situational awareness of the force protection battlespace by conducting area surveillance, patrolling base perimeters and runway approach/departure paths, and performing convoy over watch.  The Air Force Electronic Systems Center developed FPASS to address a 1999 U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) request for enhancing security at overseas bases.  CENTAF refers to the FPASS vehicle as Desert Hawk.  Each system consists of six aircraft and a laptop control station. Delivery of initial systems began in July 2002.

FQM-151 Pointer
Background: Approximately 100 hand-launched, battery powered FQM-151/Pointers have been acquired by the Marines, Army, and Air Force since 1989 and were employed in the Gulf War and are currently used in OEF and OIF. USSOCOM acquired 60 systems (2 aircraft each) and is using them in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Pointers have served as testbeds for numerous miniaturized sensors (e.g., uncooled IR cameras and chemical agent detectors) and have operated with the Drug Enforcement Agency and National Guard.  Some 50 systems remain.
Raven
Background: AeroVironment reengineered the Pointer to take advantage of advances in battery and electric motor technologies.  The result, Raven, is two-thirds the size and weight of the backpackable Pointer. Introduced into Iraq for “over the hill” and route reconnaissance, Raven requires minimal operator skills and maintenance.  The Army is buying 185 three-aircraft systems, specifically for OEF/OIF, the Air Force 41 two-aircraft systems, a nd SOCOM 70 three-aircraft systems. 

BUSTER
Background: BUSTER is a UAS on contract with the U.S. Army Night Vision Laboratories, Fort Belvoir,  VA. The Night Vision Lab is using BUSTER as a testbed for sensors. Nine systems are being delivered through the remainder of this year.  Other contracts in being are with the United Kingdoms Ministry of Defense JUEP/JUET program with BUSTER training being conducted for the Royal Artillery, the Royal Air Force and the Special Operating Forces.
