USAF Raven UAV

USAF's AFSOC group shows off the RQ-11A Raven 'A' Small UAV system, as part of their "www.dosomethingamazing.com" campaign. (This video excerpt was later retired from the website around 2009.) As of 2010, the current production version of this UAV system is the RQ-11B Raven B. It has been adopted by many nations. For more info, see either "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RQ-11_Raven" or "www.avinc.com/uas/small_uas/raven/".

Go for it! Be sure to post for us all when you have convinced any Army to field that solution on the battlefield.

@lewandlo, this information is unpublished by the manufacturer and is probably both proprietary and ITAR-controlled.

Oops, sorry, mean @damafia29 not @krbosak.

@cosminx2003, AeroVironment's website reports that it can be launched from 14,000 ft MSL, which means that it can fly even higher than that. @krbosak, your impression is interesting but quite inaccurate -- this video shows almost none of what the system can do.

If you've never flown a Raven or been trained on it you have no idea what it can do or what its strengths and weaknesses are, and im not about to just start listening them to prove you all wrong. im just going to say that almost all of you are wrong.
