Infobox[]
I used what I thought to be the most appropriate infobox, but I couldn't include engines/propulsion unless I used the Spaceship infobox. If anyone knows of a better one to use so that more information can be shown, feel free to change it.

haha did you realise that when they talk about UAVs and show them, they are always using the same scene? UAV flying over a forest and a mountain :D
- It's common practice on television shows to reuse expensive shots, especially if they involve CG, because budgets run out quickly. In Atlantis, a scene reused often is the one involving Wraith telepathy. It's a blurry scene of a corridor on a Hive, while Wraith walk back and forth. It's often used when Teyla makes telepathic connections to the Wraith. Cheers. —Ka'lel 20:39, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Real world UAV model?[]
I was searching for the actual model number used by the studio as a prop, since they have a habit of using US Army gear. Is the "Stargate UAV" actually an RQ-2 Pioneer? I'm not sure, since the Pioneer has a longer nose, but it's the only one I could find which is the right size, launched through rocket assist and has a propeller engine on the back. However, judging by screenshots the Pioneer is a lot bigger (5,2m) than it should be in the series, since the series UAV has a wingspan of about 2,5-3m (guesstimated by comparing it to the gate's diameter of 6m), so it might even be a custom job by a model aircraft builder.
I'm pretty sure that the MQ-1 Predator is used in some shots in the series, though, when they're using UCAV's.
