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(wú)人機(jī)（UAV）經(jīng)歷之后，海軍開(kāi)始加快采購(gòu)無(wú)人機(jī)（UAV）系統(tǒng)。先鋒采購(gòu)從1985年開(kāi)始，當(dāng)做一種過(guò)渡無(wú)人機(jī)（UAV）能力去為著彈點(diǎn)觀察員提供圖像情報(bào)（IMINT）用于海軍從它的戰(zhàn)艦（最初從海軍愛(ài)荷華-級(jí)戰(zhàn)列艦發(fā)射，今天從LPD-級(jí)艦艇）進(jìn)行炮火支援，也為海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)提供一個(gè)無(wú)人機(jī)（UAV）能力。
