A contractor aboard Afloat Forward Staging Base (Interim) USS Ponce (AFSB(I) 15) prepares a Scan Eagle unmanned aerial vehicle launch. Scan Eagle is an unmanned aerial vehicle system designed to provide multiple surveillance, reconnaissance data, and battlefield damage assessment missions. Ponce, formerly designated as an amphibious transport dock ship, was converted and reclassified in April to fulfill a longstanding U.S. Central Command request for an AFSB to be located in its area of responsibility.
