Lockheed LCEHV and Aquila Films



When funds become available, these two rare films will be restored to proper color and transcribed to high resolution uncompressed files and media.

The super-8 continuous loop films are in cartridges and can only be shown on a specific type of projector and it is not in the best optical condition. The films will have to be removed from the cartridges and run through a restoration process.

For now, the films have been projected in their player and recorded by a digital camera. 640x480 AVI file format versions are available for download. They don't do the material justice but they are still 100% worth watching and have not likely been seen in over 30 years, and even then by only a few select individuals.


LCEHV and early MQM-105 Aquila development film shows the state of the programs in Januatry-February 1977.

  • The LCEHV (Low Cost Expendable Harassment Vehicle) is a mini RPV designed to harass opposing forces.
  • The Aquila is designed as a laser designator drone.

    It is believed that it during this 1977 time frame that the early Aquila platform performed the design validation flights shown in this video.
