KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Technicians from Honeywell International invited coalition forces to a demonstration to help promote greater use of the RQ-16A T-Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle throughout the armed forces during a display of its capabilities at Kandahar Airfield Jan 14. The T-Hawk is currently used for explosive ordinance disposal operations and route clearance, but has the capability to do night and day reconnaissance to provide commanders with critical information.
