General Atomics Prowler

Military Aircraft

The General Atomics Prowler is a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle that General Atomics Aeronautical Systems based on its Gnat 750 reconnaissance drone. It looks much like the Gnat 750 but is smaller, with a wingspan of about 7.3 metres (24 feet) and a length of about 4.2 metres (13.9 feet), and it is credited with an endurance of more than 16 hours, against up to 48 hours for the Gnat 750. The Gnat article on Wikipedia says the Prowler shares some subsystems with the Gnat 750, the aircraft that first flew in 1989 and also led to the larger Predator. The pages read give no first flight year, engine, production figures or operators for the Prowler, so those facts are left open rather than guessed. It is entered as its own model because Wikipedia lists it separately from the Gnat in the General Atomics Aeronautical Systems products list and in the General Atomics aircraft navigation box.
