VTUAV, a versatile aerial vehicle, can autonomously land and take off from any air-capable warship. The RQ-8A Fire Scout will serve as a primary information source on combat situations. It can also perform precision targeting on both land and water. This aircraft offers excellent endurance, superior performance, sophisticated payloads, autonomous operation, and high autonomy.
RQ-8B Black Hawk
The RQ-8B Black Hawk is a versatile military drone helicopter that has a long history of service with the United States Armed Forces and other nations. This aircraft is ideal for utility operations. It has delivered vital supplies to troops, as well as saved lives in many combat zones. Designed for both day and night operations, the Black Hawk is also capable of performing other roles, including aerial firefighting and border patrol.
RQ-9 Reaper
The RQ-9 Reaper military helicopter is 20 m in wingspan and can be manned by a satellite command signal. Crews can use multiple sensors to find targets and track terrain, as well as a thermographic cam. The aircraft can even read license plates at a distance of two miles. The drone can reach its target after about 1.2 seconds of the operator's command reaching it via satellite link.
AQM-34
The AQM-34 military helicopter drone has a great range and incredible maneuverability. It can fly missions at low altitudes. This aircraft was used during combat missions in Vietnam (and the Korean War) in the United States. In fact, AQM-34 became the first unmanned aircraft into service. It flew its first flight on March 26, 1976. Its service ceiling was 65-70,000 feet.
Predator
Abraham Karem developed the Predator, a military drone helicopter. It was developed in his garage in Los Angeles. However, he tried to sell it to military personnel and it went bankrupt. Two innovative brothers from General Atomics saved him in 1991. Their company created the Predator and it was approved for testing in 2003. However, the Predator could not be used on missions without being modified to fit the needs of government agencies.

How To
How to choose the best drone for photography
This article will help you choose the right drone for you. We will explain what features you should be looking for when selecting a drone.
Firstly, let's start off by looking at some general tips for choosing a drone for your own use.
Before you buy any product, the first thing to think about is its size. If you are going to be taking photos from high above, you will find that a larger camera is easier for you to control than one with a smaller size. This is especially important if you are a beginner pilot. Because you are afraid to go higher, you don't want your pilot skills to be compromised.
A second consideration is to examine the quality of the camera's sensor. The better quality of the images you are able to capture, the bigger the sensor.
You may also want to consider buying a remote controller. A remote controller allows you to locate your drone in space and makes it easier for you to fly.
The final decision is whether or not you would like to purchase a fixed mounting mount or a handheld gimbal. A gimbal can be used to take stills and fly. This makes it easier to maintain stability and allows for more movement. They can be more expensive depending on the item you are looking for.
