RPAs defeat Drones in air superiority
Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. is home to the QF-4 Drone, and the MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft. Drones, which can be flown manned or unmanned, are used as aerial targets for next-generation aircraft weapon’s testing. The MQ-1 and MQ-9 are used for training student pilots and sensor operators how to fly real-world combat missions, as well as perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
