The XMQ-17A (SpyHawk) is an unmanned aerial vehicle built and developed by MTC Technologies which was intended to be used by the US Marine Corps in order to fulfill a need for an unmanned aerial reconnaissance capability at division level or Tier II. Launched from a trailer-mounted pneumatic launcher the aircraft is powered by a single Honda GX-57 gasoline-fueled piston engine. The SpyHawk purchase was canceled in January 2008 after MTC Technologies was purchased by BAE Systems.
