3. ScanEagle: The Maritime Maven
The Boeing Insitu ScanEagle marks a marine reconnaissance capability revolution. Using its creative pneumatic launch and recovery technique, this small UAV has revolutionised ship-based operations. Though small, the ScanEagle can run in gusts up to 25 knots and possesses an amazing 24-hour endurance. Although its modest engine signature makes it perfect for covert operations, its stabilised camera turret offers high-quality imagery even in demanding marine environments. Success of the system in counter-piracy missions, fishery protection, and maritime surveillance sets new benchmarks for naval reconnaissance operations. Military and commercial maritime users have chosen it mostly due to its low logistical footprint and proven dependability.
