432nd TDG

The 432nd Tactical Drone Group (TDG) was a United States Air Force unit activated during the Vietnam War era. Established in the early 1970s, the group operated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), primarily conducting reconnaissance and surveillance missions over Southeast Asia. The 432nd TDG utilized drones such as the AQM-34 Firebee to gather critical intelligence and perform target acquisition, supporting both air and ground operations. The unit's pioneering work in UAV operations laid important groundwork for future developments in remotely piloted aircraft within the U.S. Air Force.
