MQ-8B Unmanned Autonomous Helicopter

The MQ-8B Fire Scout Vertical Takeoff and Landing Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System (VTUAV) is designed to operate from air capable ships and has provided a significant improvement to organic surveillance capabilities. With vehicle endurance greater than five hours, a ship carrying more than one Fire Scout is capable of 24 hours of continuous on stage presence while providing coverage of 110 nautical miles from the launch site. The commanding Officer of the USS Klakring recently deployed with multiple Fire Scouts, speaks to the benefits to having them onboard. From Naval Station Mayport, I'm Petty Officer Salt Cebe.
