The Army's Hunter unmanned aircraft systemUAV, its oldest unmanned aircraft, has been retired.
The final flight was performed during a ceremony December 16 at Robert Gray Army Airfield at Fort Hood, where the 15th Military Intelligence Battalion is transitioning to the Gray Eagle UASV.
"After two decades on Fort Hood, the Hunter is being transferred to government-owned, contractor-operated units supporting operations overseas," said an Army news release.
The Hunter was the first UASV to be actively employed by the Army. Initially fielded in 1995, the aircraft was deployed on worldwide operations, including Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo.
