This is a brief summary of the concept for a Marine Corps battalion landing team aerial drone reconnaissance system. A short-range, simple, low-cost, light-weight reconnaissance system is developed that could be operated by two marines. A feasibility study was later amended to include the design, fabrication, and flight test of two research models of the proposed aircraft with a camera payload. A pneumatic, catapult-type launcher was also designed, fabricated, and tested. Many successful flights have been made, excellent aerial photographs taken, and drones recovered undamaged repeatedly, by parachute. (Author)
