Default UAV ID Question

Ran into this shot on the web. The caption says:

Hadithah Al Anbar, Iraq (Nov. 3, 2006) - U.S. Marines from Fox Company
2nd platoon 3rd squad secure the site of an unmanned aerial vehicle
which crash landed on the roof of a house in the city of Hadithah
while recovery issues are organized. Fox Company 2nd Battalion, 3rd
Marines is deployed with Regimental Combat Team 7, 1st Marine
Expeditionary Force (FWD) in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the
Al Anbar Province of Iraq (MNF-W) to develop the Iraqi Security
Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of law through
democratic government reforms, and continue the development of a
market based economy centered on Iraqi Reconstruction. U.S. Marine
Corps photo by Sgt. Jason L. Jensen (RELEASED)

Any idea what type it is? The skid landing gear is throwing me off.

Default UAV ID Question

The skid almost hints at some kind of rotary aircraft but that pusher blade
sticking up in the back gives it a look like those small ultralight
aircraft. The ones using a parachute as a wing?? I did a look at the UAVs
listed at Global Security and found nothing like this. I will be following
this for any answer that someone has.

Looks like an MMIST CQ-10 SnowGoose.

Mike,
I too had that same reaction regarding the pusher prop, but I also noticed the rigging
attached to the "roof", so it appeared as though this unit was suspended from something.
I first thought od a balloon, but quickly dismissed that idea as totally unworkable...
I see Robert's link to a pic shows a "parasail".
Had no idea we used these... very interesting.
