The Advanced UAV is a Support Pointstreak featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, a Scorestreak in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Mobile, a Killstreak in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and a Killstreak and Scorestreak in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3[]

The Advanced UAV is a fixed-wing aircraft that periodically shows the position and direction of enemies on the player's minimap with higher sweep frequency relative to the common UAV.[1] However, unlike the SR-71 Blackbird from Call of Duty: Black Ops, it can be seen and shot down. The Advanced UAV does not give real-time updates of the enemy's movements; instead, it sweeps periodically like the normal UAV. Also, players using the Assassin perk are immune to detection by the Advanced UAV. The Advanced UAV stacks with normal UAVs.[2] Like the UAV, it takes one missile to destroy the Advanced UAV, except for the SMAW.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare[]

The Advanced UAV makes a return in Infinite Warfare as a Scorestreak costing 1200 points. It functions very similar to its Modern Warfare 3 counterpart, revealing the positions of all enemies, with or without the Ghost perk, as sweeping directional arrows on the minimap for the team.

Variants[]

  • Gecko (Rare): Stays active for a longer period of time, but has lower health.
  • Shroud (Legendary): Hidden through the use of reflective camo, but has lower movement speed.
  • Overseer (Epic): Enemy markers are always visible and updated in real time, but for a shorter duration.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare[]

"Orbital UAV that reveals the enemy's direction on the mini-map."
— In-game description


The Advanced UAV returns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as a killstreak. It behaves similarly to its Modern Warfare 3 version, but players with the Ghost perk will be shown as red dots instead of arrows. Killstreaks will also be able to target players utilising the Cold-Blooded perk whilst the Advance UAV is active.

Due to how the Advance UAV functions, it is possible to destroy during their fly over via use of an unguided rocket, such as the PILA or Cruise Missile killstreak.[3]
