UAV Hunter

[flatbill2]

The Apollo 11 presidential phone call doesn't make any sense for this.

the ERMP and Warrior are 2 different birds.

I'm working on a UAV for a university project, from the research I've done (which while it isn't comprehensive as obviously the military ones are difficult to pull much info from) I would say that the vast majority of the time UAVs are under manual control in much the same where big jets are, a pilot sits there monitoring the aircraft and punching numbers into the autopilot

Hooah ERMP! THats Me xD! I can't wait to get a hold of the Warrior-A

[garvensman]

This is what I do for a living... It's pretty cool stuff.

[cmehustle]

There's a lot better uav's out there like predator or sky warrior. This one is from the 90's and created by israelis

[bgcolbs40]

just cuz I can rap better than you doesn't mean you gotta talk shit about your old bird. lol how are the 60s treating ya

[Ben1716]

[zzMAXz]

Great the autonomous landing in wind!

Fantastico latterraggio autonomo col'vento!

[garvensman]

It's not autonomous. That would mean that it flies with a pre-set program. There is a person in full control of the plane at all times. Unmanned does not = drone/autonomous.. just friendly wisdom from a guy who flies this plane. :D

@garvensman I flew Hunter and also instructed Hunter (and Pioneer) operators for just over 3 years at FT Huachuca, AZ from '93 to '96. Unless something was changed after I left there, Hunter IS capable of autonomous flight. You could set up a program right on the AVLD send it to the DCPA on the bird, to include both flight and payload paramters. And don't forget about Return Home

[garvensman]

@SgtSki1436 I know it can fly autonomously, but in general (over 90% of the time) someone is in direct control of the plane. All I am trying to say is that there is a huge misconception out there that all the UAV's fly all by themselves, like the HK in the terminator flicks. That just isn't how they work in general. We both know that. It can't pre-flight it's self.
