 US Marines evaluation

The Blueye was tested by the MCWL (Marines Corps War Lab) as
part of AVCDS (Airborne Volumetric Change Detection System)
capabilities.
The System assists in locating IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices)
The tests took place in YPG (Yuma Proving Grounds) during May
2005.
The Blueye performed reliably under the harsh desert conditions,
flying in strong thermals, dust devils, sinks and wind shears.
The Blueye presented high system reliability, with the capability to
be ready for the next flight in just a few minutes after landing.
