The General Atomics MQ-1C Gray Eagle UAV is a long-range, multi-role tactical UAV designed for the US Army, based on the MQ-1 Predator UAV. The UAV, which made its first flight in October 2004, has been used in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2009. The new MQ-1C received the official Gray Eagle designation in August 2010.

The Gray Eagle differs from the Predator UAV with a larger wingspan and a Thielert Centurion 1.7 engine optimized for high altitude operation. The flight time of the UAV at altitudes up to 7620 m is 36 hours, and the combat radius is 370 km.

In the nose of the extended fuselage, a radar with a synthesized beam aperture capable of operating in mapping mode and a multispectral surveillance system AAS-52 are installed.

The NERO container jamming system installed on the Gray Eagle UAV is similar to the CEASAR (Communications Electronic Intrusion Surveillance and Reconnaissance) radio-electronic countermeasure system capabilities tested in combat conditions. The NERO system can pinpoint the jamming of enemy radars and communication systems without disrupting or blinding the radio electronics of its troops.

Armament up to 363 kg, including four AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-surface missiles and one GBU-44/N Viper Strike anti-aircraft missile on four underwing struts.
