Maryland Army National Guard 'takes flight' with the Raven

U.S. Army Soldier Sgt. Byme Taylor, 1st Battalion, 175th Infantry Reigment infantryman, launches an RQ-11 Raven at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst N.J. on 1 June, 2023. The small hand-launched remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle provides day or night aerial intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance. With a flight radius of 10km and the ability to reach speeds of 50-100 km/h, the Raven provides superior aerial reconnaissance capabilities compared to most drones.
