摘要

The US Army has begun the process of permanently stationing a company of the General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc (GA-ASI) MQ-1C Gray Eagle medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial system (UAS) at Kunsan Air Base in South Korea. "The stationing of this company, which will be assigned to the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division, directly supports the US Army's strategic plan to add one Gray Eagle company to each division in the army," US Forces Korea said in a 12 March statement, adding that the UAS will add "significant intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capability" to US and South Korean forces.
