USAF will now use drones to improve its ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance).

These drones will be transported by the C-130 transport aircrafts, from where they will start their missions, but will also return after their completion.

Until now, there were drones that only started from aircrafts and landed at their base, but now they will be able to return to the aircraft.

They are part of the DARPA program and will be equipped with highly advanced sensors to accomplish their missions and to penetrate high-risk areas so that people do not go there.
