  MQ-1C GRAY EAGLE CHARACTERISTICS
  5-5. The MQ-1C Gray Eagle is a multi-mission, multi-payload system whose primary mission is to
  provide dedicated, mission-configured UAS support to division combat aviation, fires, and battlefield
  surveillance brigades, BCTs, and other Army and joint force units. It is capable of long endurance, near-
  real-time reconnaissance and precision attack. Gray Eagle companies are organic to the CAB and the
  military intelligence aerial exploitation brigade. Gray Eagles may team with CAB manned aircraft or
  operate autonomously in support of ground force commander objectives and information requirements.
