The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (sometimes called Predator B) is a medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, one component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS)) capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) primarily for the United States Air Force (USAF). The MQ-9 and other UAVs are referred to as Remotely Piloted Vehicles/Aircraft (RPV/RPA) by the USAF to indicate ground control by humans.

The MQ-9 is a larger, heavier, more capable aircraft than the earlier General Atomics MQ-1 Predator and can be controlled by the same ground systems. The Reaper has a 950-shaft-horsepower (712 kW) turboprop engine (compared to the Predator's 115 hp (86 kW) piston engine). The greater power allows the Reaper to carry 15 times more ordnance payload and cruise at about three times the speed of the MQ-1.^[4]
The aircraft is monitored and controlled, including weapons employment, by aircrew in the Ground Control Station (GCS). The MQ-9 is the first hunter-killer UAV designed for long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance.

This particular model is actually quite old now. At less than 8000 faces it is considered a low poly in the age of 50,000 - 250,000 poly models. We've chosen to keep the higher poly models for future projects.

The pack contains the core drone:

I've chosen to set the Reaper up to support our group's playstyle. It is intended to be flown, not just left to orbit. You can of course use it however you like. But you may want to read the Operator's handbook
