After having been impressed by stories of Israeli successes with uavs in the early 1980s, the Navy initiated an expedited procurement of UAV systems. Pioneer was procured starting in 1985 as an interim UAV capability to provide imagery intelligence (IMINT) for spotters for naval gunfire support from its battleships (originally launched from Navy Iowa-class battleships, today from LPD-class ships), as well as provide a UAV capability for the Marine Corps. 

1980年早期，在以色列印象深刻地成功使用無人機（UAV）經(jīng)歷之后，海軍開始加快采購無人機（UAV）系統(tǒng)。先鋒采購從1985年開始，當做一種過渡無人機（UAV）能力去為著彈點觀察員提供圖像情報（IMINT）用于海軍從它的戰(zhàn)艦（最初從海軍愛荷華-級戰(zhàn)列艦發(fā)射，今天從LPD-級艦艇）進行炮火支援，也為海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊提供一個無人機（UAV）能力。

In 1991, AAI Corporation and Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd., the original developers of the Pioneer system, formed a jointly owned corporation called Pioneer UAV, Inc. Pioneer UAV, Inc., was created in order to manage the program and function as the prime contractor to the US Government for all Pioneer-related activities. Located in Hunt Valley, Maryland, Pioneer UAV, Inc., maintains resident expertise in quality assurance, program management, configuration management, finance, business development, procurement, logistics support, subcontract, and contract management.

在1991年，AAI公司和以色列飛機工業(yè)公司，先鋒系統(tǒng)的最初開發(fā)者，組建了一個合營公司，稱為先鋒無人機（UAV）公司，建立為了去管理計劃和對美國政府起主承包商作用，用于所有先鋒-相關的活動。先鋒無人機（UAV）公司位于馬里蘭狩獵谷，保持在質量保證、計劃管理、結構管理、財政、商業(yè)發(fā)展、采購、后勤支援、轉包合同和合同管理等方面上的專長。
