The AQM-34L was an American reconnaissance drone derived from the BQM-34A target practice drone. These drones would be launched from and monitored by purpose-built DC-130s, photographing several targets with an internal camera before turning and flaming out (generally over the ocean), to be collected by a helicopter equipped with a Mid-Air Recovery System.

These drones were used to great effect in Vietnam, saving the lives of many would-be reconnaissance pilots.
