  4. Predator A MQ1B Medium-altitude, long-endurance, remotely piloted aircraft A Flight 39 Squadron (embedded within USAF)

  5. Predator A MQ1B

  6. Predator A MQ1B • The MQ1B Predator A is a medium-altitude, long-endurance, remotely piloted aircraft. • Its primary role is to provide real-time reconnaissance video imagery to ground commanders, but it has the additional capability to strike against ground targets using Hellfire missiles. • The basic operating crew is one pilot and a sensor operator who fly the Predator mission either locally from inside a portable Ground Control Station or via satellite links from Nellis AFB, Nevada.

  8. Predator A MQ1B Powerplant: One Rotax 914 4-cylinder piston Thrust: 115 Hp Dimensions: Length: 8.23m Wingspan: 14.84m Height: 17.34m Weight: 1134kg Performance: AAR: No Speed: 120 Kts Ceiling: 25,000ft Aircrew: One pilot, one sensor operator Weapon Systems: Missiles: Hellfire AGM 114 Bombs: None Gun: None Sensors: Radar: Lynx SAR (optional) Targeting: Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS-A) Reconnaissance: Video from MTS-A and SIGINT Defensive Aids: None

  9. Predator B MQ9A

  10. Predator B MQ9A High-altitude, long-endurance remotely piloted aircraft B Flight 39 Squadron (embedded within USAF)

  11. Predator B MQ9A • The MQ9A Predator B Reaper is a high-altitude, long-endurance remotely piloted aircraft designed for surveillance, military reconnaissance and ground-attack missions. • The aircraft is controlled by a pilot and sensor operator who are located in a Ground Control Station. • Two cameras in the nose of the aircraft provide the pilot with a forward view using either daylight TV or Infrared, whilst the sensor operator controls the targeting pod. • A KU band SATCOM system provides over the horizon control of the aircraft via a KU-band data link.
