Unmanned Long-Endurance Tactical Reconnaissance Aircraft crew chiefs, assigned within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, prep an ULTRA aircraft for taxi across the flightline before an early morning takeoff at an undisclosed location, May 7, 2024. ULTRA is an unmanned aerial system capable of flight times up to 80 hours. It provides combatant commanders intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities with a smaller operational footprint than other UAS in its class. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
