Its standard payload is either an inertial stabilized electro-optical camera, or an infrared camera. The gimbaled camera allows the operator to easily track both stationary and moving targets. Currently in use by Marine Corps in Iraq, ScanEagle UAVs have surpassed over 3000 combat flight hours in ten months. 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.
