    A Boeing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is positioned on what appears to be an aircraft carrier flight deck at dusk or dawn. A flight deck crew member in silhouette holds a blue illuminated wand, likely directing or signaling during pre-flight or post-flight operations. The scene is dramatically lit by a twilight sky with green navigation lights visible on the aircraft.

    A Boeing unmanned MQ-25 aircraft is given operating directions on the flight deck aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77). The MQ-25 will be the world’s first operational, carrier-based unmanned aircraft and is integral to the Air Wing of the Future Family of Systems (AWotF FoS). Its initial operating capability (IOC) as an aerial refueling tanker will extend the range, operational capability and power projection of the carrier air wing (CVW) and carrier strike group (CSG). GHWB is operating in the Atlantic Ocean in support of naval operations to maintain maritime stability and security in order to ensure access, deter aggression and defend U.S., allied and partner interests.

    Ground crew personnel are conducting pre-flight or maintenance operations on a large unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on what appears to be a military airfield or flight deck. The aircraft has a distinctive flying-wing or blended-body design consistent with a reconnaissance or combat drone. The scene is backlit by a low sun, creating strong lens flare and silhouette effects.
    A Boeing MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueling drone is positioned on what appears to be a carrier deck or flight deck facility, surrounded by ground crew personnel. The aircraft features a distinctive red and white color scheme with the Boeing logo clearly visible on the fuselage. Personnel appear to be conducting pre-flight checks or positioning operations in an outdoor naval environment.
    A silhouetted deck crew member stands before a large flying-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (consistent with a Boeing MQ-25 Stingray or similar UCAS) on what appears to be an aircraft carrier flight deck at dusk or dawn. The warm orange and purple sunset/sunrise sky provides strong backlighting, creating dramatic silhouettes of the aircraft and personnel. At least three crew members are visible on the deck, with the primary figure holding what appears to be a green light wand.

    A tailless, flying-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is positioned on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier at sunrise or sunset over open ocean. The aircraft has a distinctive blended-wing-body design consistent with a stealth drone configuration. The scene captures a dramatic golden-hour lighting with the sun reflecting off calm ocean waters in the background.
    An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is positioned on the flight deck of a large aircraft carrier at sea, surrounded by deck crew in colored jerseys. The scene appears to capture pre-launch or post-landing operations, with steam visible near the catapult track. The aircraft has a distinctive white fuselage with red/orange wing markings consistent with a naval drone design.
    A naval unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a distinctive X-shaped rotor configuration sits on what appears to be an aircraft carrier flight deck at dusk or dawn. A flight deck crew member in a green vest is visible in the foreground holding illuminated glow sticks (blue and green), while several other personnel stand in the background near support equipment. The scene is dramatically lit by a vivid orange and blue sunset/sunrise horizon over open water.
    A Boeing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), identifiable by the Boeing logo on its fuselage, is positioned on the flight deck of a naval aircraft carrier at dawn or dusk. Ground crew members wearing green vests and safety helmets are conducting pre-flight or post-flight operations around the aircraft. One technician is kneeling in the foreground operating what appears to be a ground support equipment console connected by cables to the aircraft.
    A Boeing MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueling drone is positioned on the flight deck of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier at sunrise or sunset. A deck crew member wearing a green jersey and white hard hat stands nearby observing the aircraft. The scene appears to be a pre-flight or post-flight operations scenario at sea.
    Two naval personnel in green safety vests and white helmets are operating handheld electronic devices on an aircraft carrier flight deck. In the background, a Boeing MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueling drone is parked on the deck at what appears to be dawn or dusk. The scene depicts pre-flight or post-flight operations for the autonomous tanker aircraft.
    The image shows flight deck operations aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, with personnel in colored safety vests managing what appears to be a Boeing MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueling drone being towed by a deck tractor. The carrier's island superstructure is prominently visible in the background, along with conventional fixed-wing aircraft on the deck. The scene appears to be captured during early morning or late afternoon based on the warm, low-angle lighting.
    A Boeing MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueling drone is being towed by a yellow ground support vehicle on the flight deck of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. The aircraft features a distinctive flying-wing design with red and gray markings and visible Boeing branding. Several personnel in safety gear are present on the deck, with the carrier's island superstructure visible in the background.
    A Boeing MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueling drone is positioned on the flight deck of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, identifiable by the hull number '77' on the island superstructure, indicating USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77). The drone features a distinctive blended-wing body design with orange-tipped wings and visible Boeing branding on the fuselage. The image appears to document a carrier deck integration or testing event under clear blue sky conditions.
