Griffon Aerospace MQM-170 Outlaw

Rare card · No. 59446

The Griffon Aerospace MQM-170 Outlaw is an unmanned aerial vehicle which is used to support air defense artillery training, research, development, and test activities. It can serve as a target drone, surrogate training platform, or in a surrogate aerial reconnaissance and forward observation role. The aircraft has been in use since 2004. The system consists of an air vehicle and a ground control station which includes an optional satellite link communication suite. The Outlaw may be launched pneumatically, or by runway takeoff when equipped with landing gear. In late October 2026, Iran claimed one MQM-170 captured after bringing it down with electronic warfare over the western Strait of Hormuz as a part of its hostilities with the US.
