The military drone helicopter is a game-changer. These helicopters can perform a wide variety of tasks, from providing medical assistance to resupplying a unit. Many of these drones have to be manned, which makes them extremely dangerous in war zones. However, they can be customized in many ways. You can get any type of AQM 34, RQ-8A Fire Scout Scout, or RQ-9 Reaper.
RQ-8A Fire Scout
The RQ-8A Fire Scout has now been selected by the US Navy as its VTUAV program (vertical-takeoff-and landing) unmanned air vehicle. VTUAV can autonomously take off and land from any aircraft-capable warship. The RQ-8A Fire Scout's primary role will be to provide information on combat situations, while performing precision targeting on land and sea. The aircraft has a long endurance, high performance, advanced payloads, and autonomous operations.
RQ-8B Black Hawk
The RQ-8B Black Hawk is a versatile military drone helicopter that has a long history of service with the United States Armed Forces and other nations. This aircraft was designed to perform utility missions and save lives. It also delivers critical supplies to ground troops. The Black Hawk can be used for day or night operations and is capable of other functions, such as aerial firefighting or border patrol.
RQ-9 Reaper
The RQ-9 Reaper drone military helicopter has a wingspan that measures 20 metres and is operated via a satellite command message. Crews can search for targets or observe terrain from several kilometers away with multiple sensors, including an e-thermograph camera. It can even read license plates up to two miles away. After 1.2 seconds, the drone will reach its target. This is after the operator sends a command via satellite link.
AQM-34
The AQM 34 military drone helicopter has a huge range and remarkable maneuverability. It is capable of flying missions at low altitudes. The aircraft was used in combat operations in Vietnam, Korea War. In fact, AQM-34 became the first unmanned aircraft into service. It flew its first flight in March 1976. Its service ceiling was between 65 and 70,000 feet.
Predator
Abraham Karem developed the Predator, a military drone helicopter. After developing the Predator in his Los Angeles garage but failing to sell it on to the military after he failed to do so, Karem's company became bankrupt. Two innovative brothers from General Atomics saved him in 1991. Their company invented the Predator, and the Predator was allowed to be tested in 2003. But before it could be used on missions, it had to be modified to meet the government's needs.
