the Fire Scout vertical-takeoff unmanned aerial vehicle (VTUAV)NGC Testing Vertical Takeoff UAV
Northrop Grumman is "investing heavily" in its own tests for the Fire Scout vertical-takeoff unmanned aerial vehicle while awaiting a decision from the U.S. Army. Consequently, when the Army finally makes a decision about air vehicles for its new Brigade Combat Team Modernization program, Fire Scout will be ready to go. The U.S. Navy is already flying its MQ-8B Fire Scout from the USS McInerney on counternarcotics missions in the Caribbean, having achieved 600 hours of flight testing and 110 takeoffs and landings. Northrop Grumman is testing its corporate-owned Fire Scout, called White Tail at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. (Image Credit: NGC)
