Why have a sUAS program?

For a better common operational picture

One of the best use cases for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) is getting a better common operational picture and identify hot spots. As seen in the picture above, the M210 can support ground teams by identifying where the hottest spots are, see through the smoke with thermals, and give the incident commander a better visual of the entire scene.
