The AeroVironment RQ-11 Raven is a small hand-launched remote-

controlled unmanned aerial vehicle (or SUAV)[3] developed for the United States
military, but now adopted by the military forces of many other countries.

The RQ-11 Raven was originally introduced as the FQM-151 in 1999, but in 2002
developed into its current form,[4] resembling an enlarged FAI class F1C free
flightmodel aircraft in general appearance. The craft is launched by hand and
powered by a pusher configuration electric motor. The plane can fly up to 6.2
miles (10.0 km) at altitudes of appx 500 feet (150 m) above ground level (AGL),
and over 15,000 feet (4,600 m) above mean sea level (MSL), at flying speeds of
2860 mph (4597 km/h).[5] The U.S. Army deploys the Raven at company-
level.[6]

Aladin (German: Abbildende Luftgesttzte Aufklrungsdrohne im Nchstbereich
, airborne reconnaissance drone for close area imaging) is a small, man-portable
light reconnaissance Miniature UAVemployed by the Bundeswehr (German
Army).

The UAV can be radio-controlled via a portable control station, or fly according to
previously set GPS coordinates. It features a day and night camera and video-
relay. It can be transported in two suitcases, which contain the disassembled
drone, and a backpack with the control station. The aircraft can be assembled
and disassembled without tools in the field within five minutes.

The Lockheed Martin Desert Hawk III (DHIII) is a miniature UAV designed by
the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in 2006 for use by modern militaries. It is a
small surveillance drone, which is mainly used by the United Kingdom, but has
also been used by the United States to assist in the war on terror by executing
reconnaissance and recovery missions.[1]

The Dragon Eye Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is a small reconnaissance Miniature

UAV developed by the Naval Research Laboratory and the Marine Corps
Warfighting Laboratory for use by the U.S. Marine Corps.

It is a tailless design with a rectangular wing and twin props. It is designed to fit
into a backpack, with a weight of 2.25 kilograms (5 pounds) and a span of 1.14
meters (3 feet 9 inches). It can be launched by hand or using a store-bought
bungee cord. It also uses a break-apart system to increase durabilityparts of
the plane break apart instead of shattering and can be reattached later or
replaced with new parts. It has a GPS-INS-based waypoint navigation system.
