The AAI RQ-7 Shadow is an American unmanned aerial vehicle used for reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition and battle damage assessment. Operators include the United States Army, the Australian Army, the Swedish Army, the Turkish Air Force and the Italian Army. The aircraft is launched from a trailer-mounted pneumatic catapult and recovered with arresting gear similar to that used by jets on an aircraft carrier. Its gimbal-mounted, digitally stabilized, liquid-nitrogen-cooled electro-optical and infrared camera sends video in real time over a C-band line-of-sight data link to the ground control station. In the US Army it is operated at brigade level.
