    Firefly: interesting, but I still think it looks more like a modified Desert Hawk

    Take a look at this one: http://www.theissaviation.com/NIRV.html

    http://www.festo.com/cms/en_corp/11369.htm Looks like a modified version of this

    "Fully Mission Capable."  Hmm?  Apparently it wasn't!  :)

    Good find, though, S.G.

    This is just great--from now on I will look at circling hawks with suspicion, especially the fat ones.

    The bird UAV and the Deserk Hawk have the same protrusion under the chin.  It is looking very much like a highly modified Desert Hawk.

    At first I read the plane with the rudder on top, like a normal plane. This isn't the case. The rudder is mounted below the tail. That puts the large round camera hole on the bottom and the 4 other holes on the top, matching the desert hawk.

    Surprised Gary didn't call it. Isn't that a Desert Hawk in the SUAS news logo banner?

    Jason: Defense Tech agrees with you.

    It seems it's a modified Lockheed Martin Desert Hawk. 

    Here's a photo that clearly shows the same nose cone and aileron setup:

    This is a foam winged plane so it would be a snap to modify.
