    Two U.S. Army soldiers are working with what appears to be a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone on a launch/recovery rail system in an open field environment. One soldier is wearing headphones and reviewing documents, while the other is gesturing with an outstretched arm, likely giving directional instructions.
