The Aquila system was developed using off-the-shelf hardware and best commercial practices where practical to minimize cost while retaining performance commensurate with 'HI-REL' hardware design. Evolution of proven RPV concepts, i.e., autopilot, sensor, and pneumatic launcher; development of new elements, airframe structure, servoactuator, and electronic interface units; adaptation of such hardware as the data link elements; and use of existing commercial units, i.e., recorders, computer, and monitor hardware, produced an effective system that was refined through flight testing and made available to trained army crews.
