太平洋,美国海军沃斯堡号濒海战斗舰上,航空电子技术员使用便携式设备检查即将进行自主飞行的 MQ-8B“火力侦察兵”无人直升机,该机隶属于美国海军第一支混编远征直升机中队 HSM-35“魔术师”打击直升机中队。(Aviation Electronics Technician 3rd Class Adrian Araiza of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 35 Detachment 1 verifies connections for a maintenance portable electronic display device, which is used to prepare an MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned autonomous helicopter for flight operations aboard the littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth (LCS-3). HSM-35 is the Navy’s first composite expeditionary helicopter squadron. The aviation detachment aboard Fort Worth consists of one MH-60R Seahawk helicopter and one MQ-8B that compliments the MH-60R by extending the range and endurance thereby enhancing maritime domain awareness. Fort Worth departed its homeport of San Diego Nov. 17 for a 16-month rotational deployment to Singapore in support of the Navy’s strategic rebalance to the Pacific.)
