The MQ-1 Predator is a system, not just an aircraft.\u00c2\u00a0 A fully operational system consists of four aircraft (with sensors), a ground control station, a Predator Primary Satellite Link, or PPSL, along with operations and maintenance crews for deployed 24-hour operations.\u00c2\u00a0 The basic crew for the Predator is one pilot and two sensor operators.\u00c2\u00a0 They fly the aircraft from inside the ground control station via line-of-sight data link or a satellite data link for beyond line-of-sight. The Predator carries the multi-special Targeting System which integrates electro-optical, infrared, laser designator and laser illuminator into a single sensor package.\u00c2\u00a0 The aircraft can employ two laser-guided AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> This is an (MRC Kit 59003, Platz Kit AC-3) MQ-1B (L) Predator UAV 1:72 Scale Model Review.
