The ScanEagle (UAV) uses a Skyhook recovery system after a flight demonstration at Indian Springs Auxiliary Field, N.V., on Dec. 18, 2004. The recovery platform is unique because the UAV catches a rope hanging from a 50-foot high pole. The patented system allows ScanEagle to be runway independent and operate from forward fields, mobile vehicles or small ships. (USAF PHOTO by TECH. SGT. Kevin J.Gruenwald) (Released)
