    ScanEagle operators prepare to launch an X-200 ScanEagle Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, which will provide overwatch and real-time intelligence to troops on the ground here Nov. 20. The lightweight UAV, with Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 2, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), will remain in the air throughout the day until nightfall when it will be replaced by another ScanEagle equipped with a camera better suited for night surveillance.

    A nighttime photograph showing what appears to be an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone mounted on a wheeled transport/launch frame, photographed outdoors on a gravel surface. In the foreground are support equipment items including a red and black battery (appearing to be an Optima-style deep cycle battery) and a translucent fluid reservoir with a flexible hose attached. The scene is illuminated by artificial light against an otherwise dark background.
    A person wearing a black long-sleeve shirt is using a light blue cloth to clean or wipe the interior or edge of a rectangular opening on a gray curved surface, likely a vehicle body panel or helmet. Green masking tape is visible on the gray surface, suggesting preparation for painting or finishing work. The object appears to be in a workshop or garage setting at night or in low ambient light.
