The Short-Range UAV is a pilotless aircraft resembling a small airplane that can be controlled from a ground station. It is to accomplish its various missions by flying over enemy territory and transmitting video imagery back to ground stations for use by military commanders. DOD initiated acquisition of the Short-Range system in 1989 by procuring candidate systems for competitive testing. In early 1993, after completing the testing, DOD approved initiation of the winning system's low-rate production and awarded a $171-million contract to produce seven systems. Each system is to include eight air vehicles with payloads, a launch and recovery station, ground stations for controlling flight and processing information from the air vehicles, and other related equipment.
