IMPROVED SHADOW® TUAS
■Textron Systems’ improved Shadow Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (TUAS) builds on the proven RQ-7B program of record system with >22 years and over 1.3 million flight hours in support of the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Special Operations Forces, Australian Defense Force, Swedish and Italian armed forces. Improved Shadow TUAS provides organic support to the maneuver commander, with more than 85 percent of its flight hours in combat. It has successfully supported the warfighter in some of the most strenuous operational and challenging environmental conditions.
