The MQ-9 Reaper, also known as Predator B, represents a significant advancement in unmanned aerial vehicle technology, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems primarily for the United States Air Force. Compared to the MQ-1, the Reaper is larger and more robust, capable of carrying a payload of ordnance that is fifteen times heavier. This increase in power enables the MQ-9 to operate at significantly higher speeds, providing enhanced flexibility and effectiveness in various missions. Its armament options include Hellfire missiles and 500-pound laser-guided bombs, affording it considerable firepower for a range of operational scenarios. Let’s have a look at how the MQ-9 Reaper has evolved over time.
