reconnaissance drone was enjoying success in <a href="/wiki/Vietnam" title="Vietnam">Vietnam</a> in the early 1960s, but it lacked the range to fly deep into <a href="/wiki/China" title="China">China</a> and back out again. In particular, the Chinese nuclear development facility at <a href="/wiki/Lop_Nor" class="mw-redirect" title="Lop Nor">Lop Nor</a> was far out of reach of the Lightning Bugs, and was barely within reach of the <a href="/wiki/Lockheed_U-2" title="Lockheed U-2">Lockheed U-2</a> spyplane, which had become far too vulnerable to <a href="/wiki/Surface-to-air_missile" title="Surface-to-air missile">SAMs</a>. US intelligence thus needed a long-range drone with a high degree of survivability. Such requirements spelled out a completely new design, not a modification of a target drone. </p><p>Ryan pursued advanced drone concepts on a part-time basis. After discussions with the <a href="/wiki/CIA" class="mw-redirect" title="CIA">CIA</a> that went nowhere, Ryan pitched their advanced reconnaissance drone concepts to the Air Force in early 1966. The USAF was interested, and opened up a design competition, with Ryan competing with <a href="/wiki/North_American_Aviation" title="North American Aviation">North American Aviation</a>. Ryan won the competition in June 1966, and the new design was designated the "Model 154 / AQM-91A Firefly". The basic design concept resembled that of the Model 136 Red Wagon drone that Ryan had proposed earlier in the decade, but which had been turned down in favor of a modified <a href="/wiki/Ryan_Firebee" title="Ryan Firebee">Firebees</a>. The name "Firefly" was resurrected from the early Model 147 program for the new drone, though it was also referred to as "<a href="/wiki/Compass_Arrow" class="mw-redirect" title="Compass Arrow">Compass Arrow</a>" after the program name. The test flights were conducted over the US Southwest. The project was highly secret, but on 4 August 1969 one of the prototypes failed and parachuted to ground inside the <a href="/wiki/Los_Alamos_National_Laboratory" title="Los Alamos National Laboratory">Los Alamos</a> nuclear research complex during lunch hour. Unfortunately, it didn't land in a restricted area, and local newspeople were able to take and publish photographs of the aircraft. The Air Force released a statement that the aircraft was a "high altitude target". </p><p>Test flights were halted for a few weeks while procedures were reviewed. Flights were resumed, culminating in long-range evaluations in late 1971. Testing concluded with the Model 154 exceeding its altitude requirements and proving almost invisible to radar. However, by this time the need for the Model 154 had vanished. In July 1971, President <a href="/wiki/Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon">Richard Nixon</a> began a diplomatic effort to build ties with China, and reconnaissance overflights were cancelled. Satellite reconnaissance capabilities had improved through the 1960s, leading to the first launch of the advanced <a href="/wiki/KH-9_Hexagon" title="KH-9 Hexagon">KH-9 Hexagon</a> satellite on 15 June 1971, which provided strategic intelligence without diplomatic consequences. </p><p>The Model 154 program lingered on for a few more years, but in 1973 all were put in mothballs, and scrapped a few years after that. Twenty-eight had been built, including 20 production models. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design">Design</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ryan_AQM-91_Firefly&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Design"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Model_154-_Compass_arrow.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/Model_154-_Compass_arrow.jpg/220px-Model_154-_Compass_arrow.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="180" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/Model_154-_Compass_arrow.jpg/330px-Model_154-_Compass_arrow.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/Model_154-_Compass_arrow.jpg/440px-Model_154-_Compass_arrow.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1985" data-file-height="1624" /></a><figcaption>An AQM-91 under the wing of a DC-130</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Model_154_Teledyne_Ryan.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Model_154_Teledyne_Ryan.jpg/220px-Model_154_Teledyne_Ryan.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="183" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Model_154_Teledyne_Ryan.jpg/330px-Model_154_Teledyne_Ryan.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Model_154_Teledyne_Ryan.jpg/440px-Model_154_Teledyne_Ryan.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1961" data-file-height="1635" /></a><figcaption>The project was highly secret, but on 4 August 1969 one of the prototypes failed and parachuted to ground inside the Los Alamos nuclear research complex during lunch hour.</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Stealth">Stealth</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ryan_AQM-91_Firefly&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Stealth"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Model 154 had an engine on the top of the <a href="/wiki/Fuselage" title="Fuselage">fuselage</a> to reduce its <a href="/wiki/Radar_cross-section" class="mw-redirect" title="Radar cross-section">radar cross-section</a> and <a href="/wiki/Infrared_signature" title="Infrared signature">infrared signature</a> as seen from below, as well as twin inward-canted tailfins to conceal the exhaust stream.
