Next-generation UAV to be deployed in Korea, Chosun Ilbo

Gray Eagle can provide improved reconnaissance and offensive capabilities: military specialists

United States Forces Korea (USFK) plan to deploy the MQ-1C Gray Eagle, a war-tested Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV), to the Korean Peninsula as early as July, the Chosun Ilbo reported Wednesday.

The Gray Eagle was first implemented by the U.S. Army unit deployed in Camp Taji, Iraq in 2010. It has retained its popularity among U.S. Army aviation units, as the Army ordered 19 additional Improved Gray Eagles from General Atomics last year.
