Whilst unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are not generally accepted on AirHistory.net this is based, very evidently on the Bell 407. The UAS is capable of more than 8 hrs of operations providing coverage out to 150 nautical miles from a host ship. The Fire Scout is equipped with electro-optical/infrared sensors and a laser designator to find, track and designate tactical targets, provide targeting data to strike platforms and perform battle damage assessment. The USN will add an optical mine countermeasures payload to the MQ-8C in the future. The first ops deployments of the MQ-8C began in '22.
