Design
For ease of operation and rapid deployment, each Predator UAV can be disassembled into 6 main components and loaded in a container. This enables all system components and support equipment to be rapidly deployed worldwide. A 5,000 by 125 feet (1,524 by 38 meters) runway is requested for UAVs takeoff and land operations. The improved RQ-1B Predator UAV features an ARC-210 radio, APX-100 IFF, ice mitigation system, upgraded engine, and validated technical orders for operations and maintenance.
