An MQ-8C Fire Scout was spotted on a trailer on I-405 Northbound at Newport Beach, California.
The MQ-8C Fire Scout is a Bell 407 helicopter modified with autonomous controls from the MQ-8B drone copter.
It weighs 2.7 tons, has a 1,000 lb payload, can fly for 24 hours, and can carry AGM-176 Griffin missiles, APKWS II guided 70 mm rockets, and AGM-114 Hellfire missiles.
It first flew in October 2013. The first two unmanned choppers currently involved in flight testing have already surpassed 100 flight hours.
The Navy plans to operate 28 MQ-8Cs for its special operations forces.
