The New Zealand Army has got its first taste of the power of the RQB-7 Shadow Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) as 2nd Engineer Regiment discovered camouflage is no match for its sensors.

Twenty-five US soldiers from the 29th Brigade Engineer Battalion’s 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, out of Hawai’I, were hosted by 2nd Engineer Regiment, 1 (NZ) Brigade at Waiouru recently.


Combat engineers took a close look at the reconnaissance capabilities of the Shadow and how it can be used in combat to assist soldiers on the ground and to disrupt enemy progress.

Camo proves no match for the American tactical Uncrewed Aircraft System.
