 systems, and evaluate lessons learned for future use in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Cyber Defense and UAVPRO, Inc., the deployment and training group for Cyber, brought the entire CyberBug(TM) line. Cyber Defense was one of three UAV vendors invited to participate in the exercise; and their UAV system was the only one to have no mishaps during the three-day operation.

During the course of the three-day exercise, the medium and large CyberBug(TM) flew twelve sorties. Several times the flights were conducted with three different UAV systems in the air at the same time, over a mock up village. There were also HH-60 Helicopter Gunships providing live fire and F-15E fighter jets, in addition to other manned aircraft, providing close air support, while the CyberBugs(TM) provided an eye in the sky and a visual on targets at all times.

The CyberBugs(TM) were the only UAV system present with a gyro stabilized pan and tilt camera system. This allowed the CyberBug(TM) to stay on target no matter where the UAV was. The CyberBug(TM) also demonstrated the capabilities of launching from a rooftop or tower, without the use of a launch device. Overall, this exercise demonstrated how UAVs can operate in the same airspace as manned aircraft, and enhances the capabilities of the troops on the ground.

During recent House Armed Services Committee The term Armed Services Committee could refer to:
  • U.S. House Committee on Armed Services
  • U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services
 meeting the Air Force was urged to send more unmanned aerial drones to Iraq in an effort to neutralize the threat of roadside bombs and other improvised explosives popular among Iraqi insurgents Insurgents, in U.S. history, the Republican Senators and Representatives who in 1909–10 rose against the Republican standpatters controlling Congress, to oppose the Payne-Aldrich tariff and the dictatorial power of House speaker Joseph G. Cannon. . Committee member informed Air Force Secretary James Roche and Air Force Chief of Staff John Jumper that drones and other Air Force assets could help preclude that threat. Roche said the Air Force is working to improve coordination and is experimenting with new unmanned aerial vehicles and radar systems. He said tests had been conducted recently in the desert sands of Yuma, Ariz., on a backpack-sized drone that will soon be deployed to Iraq. He also highlighted the efforts of a senior-level working group in the Pentagon charged with improving joint cooperation.
