We do a little more than manage the FMS with SATCOM. Precision weapons engagements are the norm, from across the globe. You’d be amazed how quickly you adapt to an aircraft that responds 1 second after your hands make an input. The MQ-9 is a very reliable platform, a turboprop is much better long term than a turbocharged Rotax. LRE is still done by LOS due to lag, but they can also feature auto land capability. The Army bought that feature off the shelf for their MQ-1Cs, Big Blue took a while to entertain that feature (superior pilots and all). I’ve been out of the community for a while, so I’m not sure where they stand on it currently.
