Aero-Linx: Predator
RQ-1/MQ-1/MQ-9 Reaper-UAV
RQ-1 Predator is a long-endurance, medium-altitude unmanned
aircraft system for surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
Surveillance imagery from synthetic aperture radar, video cameras
and a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) can be distributed in
real-time both to the front line soldier and to the operational
commander, or worldwide in real-time via satellite communication
links. MQ-1, armed with AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, is the
multi-role version which is used for armed reconnaissance and
interdiction.
