General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper
The
General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper
(formerly named
Predator B
) is an
unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) capable of
remote controlled
or
autonomous flight
operations, developed by
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems
(GA-ASI) primarily for the
United States Air Force
(USAF). The MQ-9 and other UAVs are referred to as Remotely Piloted Vehicles/Aircraft (RPV/RPA) by the USAF to indicate their human ground controllers. The MQ-9 is the first
hunter-killer
UAV designed for long-endurance,
high-altitude
surveillance
. In 2006, the then–
Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force
General
T. Michael Moseley
said: "We've moved from using UAVs primarily in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance roles before Operation Iraqi Freedom, to a true hunter-killer role with the Reaper."
