Lance Cpls. Daniel Shannon and Andrew Donnelley, an intelligence clerk and a team leader with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, pick up the pieces of an RQ-11B Raven unmanned aircraft system following UAS flight operations at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, Hawaii, July 12, 2011. Flying between 300 and 1,000 feet over MCTAB, the Raven's cameras collected real-time video of the training area, recording the information through the laptop before landing itself and breaking into pieces to be re-assembled. In only a few short months, the 3/3 Marines will use the Raven in Afghanistan to gather intelligence, allowing battalion leaders to analyze and use the information for reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition.
