US Air Power Begins Coaching on New MQ-9 Reaper Block 5
The most recent model of the MQ-9 Reaper remotely pilot plane (RPA) and its new floor management station have arrived at Holloman Air Power Base in New Mexico, house to the most important MQ-9 formal coaching unit within the U.S. Air Power.
Amongst enhancements, the MQ-9 Block 5 has an upgraded electrical energy system that addresses an influence loss challenge that dogged older Block 1 fashions. Starter-generator failures within the older fashions prompted the MQ-9 to empty its backup battery system; this resulted within the lack of 13 Reapers between April 2013 and December 2015, in response to a Division of Protection chosen acquisition report launched in March 2016.
