Another Boeing subsidiary, Insitu, builds the ScanEagle, a small, long-endurance, low-altitude drone for reconnaissance. Insitu also builds the RQ-21 Blackjack for the Navy and Marine Corps. The design of ScanEagle 3 is a combination of ScanEagle UAS and RQ-21A Blackjack small tactical unmanned air system (STUAS). The ScanEagle 3’s fuselage section is similar to that of ScanEagle, while its twin tail configuration resembles RQ-21A. The design of ScanEagle 3 is a combination of ScanEagle UAS and RQ-21A Blackjack small tactical unmanned air system (STUAS). The ScanEagle 3’s fuselage section is similar to that of ScanEagle, while its twin tail configuration resembles RQ-21A. Using the same basic design as the ScanEagle, the Blackjack is nearly double the size in dimension and almost exactly double the weight. Flight capabilities are near identical, with the main exception being the payload. Service persons can load nearly 55 lbs of cameras and other gear onto the Blackjack.
Boeing’s Insitu has won a $390 million contract to supply RQ-21A Blackjack drones and ScanEagle Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) meant for the US Marines, US Navy and governments of Canada, Poland and Oman respectively.
According to the contract announced by the US Department of Defense on Friday, the company will supply 63 RQ-21A attrition air vehicles for the US Marine Corps and US Navy. In addition, the contract provides for up to six RQ-21A UASs and up to 17 RQ-21A air vehicles for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers, including the governments of Canada, Poland and Oman. The contractor will also provide up to 93 ScanEagle UASs in various configurations.
The deal provides for associated services, including training, test and engineering, development of engineering change proposals, operations support, organizational level maintenance, field service representatives, land and ship surveys, hardware site activations, hardware installs, repairs and data.
The RQ-21A Small Tactical Unmanned Aerial System (STUAS) is a twin-boom, single-engine monoplane, designed as a supplement to Boeing’s Scan Eagle, which is used for reconnaissance over land and water.
Work is expected to be completed in June 2022.

Introduction
Common questions for novice players: What is single deck blackjack? Is it better to play single deck blackjack versus multi-deck variations? To use the basic strategy, look up your hand along the left vertical edge and the dealer's up card along the top. In both cases, an A stands for ace. From top to bottom are the hard totals, soft totals, and splittable hands. For specific tips, we present two charts depending on whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17.
Other basic strategy rules:- Never take insurance or 'even money.' The house edge on insurance is 5.9%, based on one deck.
- If there is no row for splitting (fives and tens), then look up your hand as a hard total (10 or 20).
- If you can't split because of a limit on re-splitting, then look up your hand as a hard total, except aces. In the extremely unlikely event you have a pair of aces you can't re-split and drawing to split aces is allowed, then double against a 5 or 6, otherwise hit.
