    Two operators are seated at a dual-workstation ground control station (GCS), likely used for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone operations. Each operator faces a large multi-display console showing flight data, mapping overlays, and sensor feeds. The console includes weapon and laser control panels, joysticks, and communication equipment.

    Pilots control a Gray Eagle unmanned aircraft system (UAS) during a project at Dugway Proving Ground to observe golden eagle nests. The project compared three observation methods to determine which one offered the most benefits: an on-the-ground observer, a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) and the Gray Eagle, a military UAS.

    The image shows a rocky cliff face with layered sedimentary or basaltic rock formations. A bird's nest constructed from dry grasses and twigs is visible on a ledge near the center of the frame. The cliff surface shows signs of weathering, lichen growth, and what appears to be bird droppings (whitewash) in several areas.
    A trail camera image captured on April 20, 2019 at 15:21:40 showing a raptor nest on a rocky cliff ledge at 68°F. The nest contains at least one newly hatched chick and one unhatched egg, along with what appears to be prey remains. The surrounding landscape is semi-arid shrubland with patches of green vegetation visible in the background.
    A person is operating a drone using a remote controller with a tablet mounted on it, displaying a live drone camera feed. The operator is outdoors on a gravel surface, wearing a dark jacket and green cap, and is actively interacting with the tablet screen. The drone app interface shows telemetry data, altitude readings, and a real-time aerial view of terrain.
    A black hexacopter drone is captured mid-flight against a clear blue sky in an arid desert environment. The drone is equipped with a payload camera mounted on a gimbal beneath its frame, with red and green navigation lights visible on its arms. Rocky desert buttes and a flat, barren landscape are visible in the background.
    Two operators are seated at a dual-workstation ground control station (GCS), likely used for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone operations. Each operator faces a large multi-display console showing flight data, mapping overlays, and sensor feeds. The console includes weapon and laser control panels, joysticks, and communication equipment.
    A U.S. Army unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), identifiable as an MQ-1C Gray Eagle, is parked inside a large military maintenance hangar. The aircraft is painted in standard military gray and bears 'U.S. ARMY' markings on the fuselage. The hangar appears to be an active maintenance or storage facility with support equipment and personnel visible in the background.
    Two men are conducting pre-flight checks on a large multi-rotor drone (octocopter) in an arid, high-desert landscape. One man holds a tablet or document while the other holds a remote controller, suggesting they are reviewing a flight plan or checklist. Rocky outcroppings, sagebrush scrubland, and a dry lakebed or salt flat are visible in the background.
    A trail camera image dated April 11 at 14:44:49 captures two large raptors, likely Golden Eagles, at a cliff-side nest. The nest contains at least one hatched eaglet with white down feathers and one unhatched egg. One adult appears to be feeding or tending to the chick while the other stands with partially raised wings.
    A trail camera image timestamped 08:03:52 captures a raptor nest on a rocky cliff ledge. An adult bird of prey, likely a Golden Eagle, is feeding a white downy chick in the nest. The nest is constructed of sticks and grass, situated against a rock face with an open grassland/shrubland landscape visible in the background.
    The image shows a U.S. Army unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in flight against a clear blue sky. The aircraft is a gray, propeller-driven drone with a pusher-configuration engine at the rear and appears to be carrying munitions or sensor pods under its wings. The text 'U.S. ARMY' is clearly visible on the fuselage.
    The image shows a rocky cliff face with layered sedimentary rock formations. A large bird nest made of sticks and dry vegetation is visible on a ledge in the center-left of the image, with what appears to be a white-headed bird (likely a raptor such as an eagle or osprey) sitting at or near the nest. The rock surface shows signs of weathering, lichen growth, and natural fracturing typical of stratified cliff environments.
