UAV Predator / Reaper target destruction GCS (Ground Control Station) Operations

Video at the GCS (Ground Control Station) of typical UAV military operations showing the 2 person UAV team (Pilot and Sensor Operator) executing a countdown to an enemy target kill. UAVs are launched at actual combat locations but flight control, and weapons operations are done by a mix of military and contract personnel sitting in the USA, often in communication and coordination with on-the-ground units. Control is fully electronic "real time" via satellite uplink/downlink, including computer controlled loiter mode. Missions may be reconnaissance, search/rescue, employing sensors, psychological ops, and/or target identification and/or destruction. Currently only UAVs such as the Predators RQ/MQ-1 and MQ-9 Reapers are used by our military in overseas battle theaters to destroy enemy targets, while new exotic UAVs including gliders, and very small hovering units are operational and being developed and designed with unique functions for the future battlefield.

Well, ROVs like this should be employed to protect the borders (think quadcopters equiped with thermal/nightvision.. with extended range.. a few of these could be used to protect vast areas prone to illegal immigration and Drug transport. just have a protected landing pad where these units could recharge (kinda like flat cellphone chargers) each has GPS and a predetermined route, only when it recognises activity would an opperator be notified and action taken.

It sure beats putting up a wall!.

@Sassymui8 Wait a minute... You mean 10 years ago at Tora Bora, Osama got hit by a missile from a drone? Or do you mean he got hit in his "compound" there in Pakistan with the "Navy Seals" standing just a few feet away? Perhaps the "drone" was also a "helicopter" version...that picked him up...and "ferried" him out to the Indian Ocean and dumped him like the Blob? More fairytales...

Bin Laden's "bin" dead fer 10 years. He just did an "encore" for Obama- and to fool the sheeple.
