The Shadow 200 TUAS is the latest-generation, combat-proven system within our UAS family. It is the choice of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps for reconnaissance, surveillance, targeting, and assessment. Designated as the RQ-7B by the U.S. Army, the aircraft enables brigade commanders to see, understand, and act decisively when time is critical.

AAI manufactures the Shadow 200 TUAS using the latest avionics technology and manufacturing processes. The aircraft can see targets up to 125 kilometers away from the brigade tactical operations center, and recognize tactical vehicles up to 8,000 feet above the ground at more than 3.5 kilometers slant range, day or night.

Our Shadow ground control station transmits imagery and telemetry data directly to the Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System, All Sources Analysis System, and Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System in near real time. It also provides targeting data for precision weapons. An entire Shadow 200 TUAS — including all spares, personnel, and other components required to support sustained operations — can be deployed quickly to any location using three C-130 Hercules aircraft. Short-duration operations require only a single C-130.
