The accomplishments and lessons learned of the Pioneer Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) during operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm are described. The Pioneer UAV has been deployed with three branches of the U.S. military (USA, USN, and USMC) for the past four years. Although the system has compiled more than 6,000 flight hours, the recent conflict in the Persian Gulf is the first opportunity to demonstrate its true value in a combat scenario. In a relatively short time (42 days), 307 flights and 1,011 flight hours were completed on Operation Desert Storm. This, coupled with the accuracy of various weapons systems that Pioneer observed/cued for, resulted in timely target engagements. The Pioneer deployment and accomplishments on operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm are chronicled. Various employment methods, tactics, doctrine, and lessons learned are presented.
