A “Dragon Eye” Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) on display at the 2005 Naval UAV Air Demo held at the Webster Field Annex of Naval Air Station Patuxent River. Dragon Eye is primary designed to follow a predetermined mission into questionable areas to deliver a bird’s-eye view of its surroundings with two near-real-time video cameras. Dragon Eye’s primary mission is reconnaissance and surveillance for small unit commanders with an organic capability to see over the next hill/building, conduct route reconnaissance, battle damage assessment and unit force protection. The daylong UAV demonstration highlights unmanned technology and capabilities from the military and industry and offers a unique opportunity to display and demonstrate full-scale systems and hardware. This year’s theme was, “Focusing Unmanned Technology on the Global War on Terror.” (U.S. Navy photo by Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class Daniel J. McLain)
