FILE - In this May 20, 2016, file photo, an Israeli-built Elbit Systems Hermes 450 unmanned aircraft is towed out of a hangar at the Hillsboro, N.D. airport before its first flight to collect agriculture data. The high-flying drone that was brought to North Dakota in May is now part of a trial run to see if can help restore power to areas hit by natural disasters. Officials involved in the Xcel Energy test program say the larger drone's ability to cover more ground, collect more data and fly at night is expected to help the company move crews, materials and equipment quickly and safely.
