Dogleg while beginning an sUAS flight

Reduce the likelihood of enemy triangulation and identification of sUAS operating positions during departure and recovery.

• Depart operating positions on a non-direct heading
• Avoid flying directly toward or away from operating positions
• Create lateral separation from operating positions before turning onto final flight path
• Conduct final approach from offset directions when returning to operating positions
• Use terrain, structures, or distance to break visual tracking where possible
• Delay establishment of a direct flight line to the operating position until outside likely enemy observation
