Photos taken from the bird in flight could be captured within hundreds of feet of the target, producing much more detailed pictures than other image-capturing methods.
This new capability provides the warfighter with the ability to provide target updates, retarget the weapon while in flight and abort, and provides bomb hit indication (BHI).
