A Tactical Unmanned Aerial System RQ-7B Shadow completes

A Tactical Unmanned Aerial System RQ-7B Shadow completes an arrested landing Jan. 10 on Cooper Island. The hook at the bottom of the drone latches onto a cable to slow and eventually stop the aircraft when landing. The Shadow is used for various types of missions such as gathering intelligence on enemy locations or objectives, providing over-watch support, and laser targeting areas to provide air support to other units. The aircraft is with Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 3, Marine Aircraft Group 24, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
