Back to top General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. MQ-1 'Predator-A' Type: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Origin: USA Similar aircraft: Wings: Cantilever, low-wing monoplane Fuselage: Tail unit: Landing gear: Retractable, tricycle type. Crew: Pilot + Sensor Operator (Not onboard). Powerplant: One 115 hp (86kW) Rotax 914F turbocharged four cylinder engine, 100 US gal capacity Systems: Avionics and equipment: The Predator air vehicle and sensors are controlled from the ground station via a C-band line-of-sight data link or a Ku-band satellite data link for beyond-line-of-sight operations. During flight operations the crew in the ground control station is a pilot and two sensor operators. The aircraft is equipped with the AN/AAS-52 Multi-spectral Targeting System, a color nose camera (generally used by the pilot for flight control), a variable aperture day-TV camera, and a variable aperture infrared camera (for low light/night). Previously, Predators were equipped with a AN/ZPQ-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar for looking through smoke, clouds or haze, but lack of use validated its removal to reduce weight and conserve fuel. The cameras produce full motion video and the synthetic aperture radar produced still frame radar images. There is sufficient bandwidth on the datalink for two video sources to be used at one time, but only one video source from the sensor ball can be used at any time due to design limitations. Either the daylight variable aperture or the infrared electro-optical sensor may be operated simultaneously with the synthetic aperture radar, if equipped.
