Insitu

Insitu is a US unmanned-aircraft company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Bingen, Washington. Its name refers to taking measurements "in situ," reflecting its origins in small robotic aircraft built to gather atmospheric data. Boeing acquired Insitu in 2008 and operated it as a wholly owned subsidiary until August 2026, when ownership passed to Archer Aviation.

Insitu is best known for the long-range ScanEagle reconnaissance drone and the Integrator family of tactical UAVs, including the extended-range Integrator ER and the US Navy and Marine Corps' RQ-21A Blackjack variant. The company says its aircraft have logged more than 1.3 million operational flight hours across US military and Coast Guard use, and Insitu platforms have also been sold to international customers including Australia and the Netherlands.

Insitu's field service representatives deploy alongside military customers to operate and maintain its aircraft, a service model the company has built around decades of experience supporting the US Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard as well as more than 35 international militaries.
