I love how they are pushing around a 750,000 dollar drone like its a shitty honda lawnmower

[@JWQweqOPDH]

Well, they shoot $200,000 Javelin missiles at homes built out of mud in the middle of nowhere.

[@mohsenfazareh3384]

how much is the acceleration of launch does usual autopilots like px4 tolerate it?

[@airdroperua]

I think more like 12+ G, PX4 is ok with it

[@Afiso]

are those things on the wing for protection? why in all video they run fast to the uav after landing?

[@derekd8142]

So they can shut the power down.

[@stikmunkey]

The covers are there to prevent the wing from heating up causing the pressurized fuel bladders from expanding inside the wing

[@airdroperua]

very expensive drone and even more expensive catapult, why that much of redundancy?

[@justinhenry2005]

Because aviation

[@philippeter5166]

These guys... Are they Unmanned Ariel Vehicle Operators or Unmanned Ariel Vehicle Technicians? Can someone please explain! I read that the operators operate the computer systems but also take part in launching and recovery of UAVs. Furthermore, I see the technicians also work with launching and recovery of UAVs just as they do maintenance. Please someone explain the difference.

+philip peter These guys are the ground crew,those who fly this aircraft sit remotely in another bunker and control it from there.Ground crew is responsible for assembling,dissembling,initial check,launching and capturing after landing;The Boeing scan eagle uav is caught in mid air whereas rq-7 lands and it is then captured because it doesn't have breaks and reverse.

[@philippeter5166]

+Muhammad Ali but what is the MOS?

[@UnicycleIdiot]

The operators are 7314s. The maintainers ( the guys working on it on the ground) are 6314s. I am with this unit as a 7314

[@philippeter5166]

So these guys in the video are 7314? And you are with them?
