HISTORY ASPECTS: RQ-1 Predator Drone is a long-endurance, medium-altitude unmanned aircraft system for surveillance and reconnaissance missions. The aircraft is equipped with the AN/AAS-52 Multi-spectral Targeting System, a color nose camera (generally used by the pilot for flight control), a variable aperture day-TV camera, surveillance imagery from synthetic aperture radar (to see through smoke and clouds), and a forward-looking infrared system (FLIR). The images obtained 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. RQ-1, armed with two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, is the multi-role version which is used for armed reconnaissance and interdiction.
