MQ-1B PREDATOR

Throughout the mid-90s, 1st functional routes for the RQ-1 Predator, the globe's most well-known unmanned aerial car, occurred. The Predator had been created to meet higher level reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines without endangering team or pilots. The Predator's journey is managed by a ground control place using advanced satellite technology. Its advanced level reconnaissance gear includes an infrared sensor and an artificial aperture high-resolution radar. The aerodynamic design features a familiar inverted V tail and propeller. The relatively light weight (somewhat over a metric ton) permits a lengthy endurance and period of remain on the objective. The Predator RQ-1 evolved into the MQ-1 variation which could, along with its standard advance reconnaissance role, be employed for ground accuracy hits. Because of this purposes, the MQ-1 Predator can employ, among other weapons, two laser-guided AGM-114 Hellfire missiles.
