Mission
The MQ-1 Predator is a medium-altitude, long-endurance, unmanned aircraft system The MQ-1's primary mission is interdiction and conducting armed reconnaissance against critical, perishable targets. When the MQ-1 is not actively pursuing its primary mission, it acts as the Joint Forces Air Component Commander-owned theater asset for reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition in support of the Joint Forces commander.
Features
The MQ-1 Predator is a system, not just an aircraft. A fully operational system consists of four aircraft (with sensors), a ground control station, a Predator Primary Satellite Link, or PPSL, along with operations and maintenance crews for deployed 24-hour operations.

Interesting subject matter Derrick. Seen many maned war planes from WWII with marking to indicate kills but I wasn't aware that unmaned "planes" have the same markings.
I think th crop should have included the whole drome. Other wise your point and shoot did a good job.

Bonjour Derrick.
Intéressante image accompagnée par une bonne explication de ce redoutable avion sans pilote.
Les détails sont bien présents grâce à une bonne netteté.
Merci du partage.
Bonne journée.
