the Portable Aircraft Control Station MQ-9 Reaper Operational Test
An Operational Test MQ-9 Reaper prepares for first-time Portable Aircraft Control Station launch on July. 12, 2022, at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada. When fielded and fully mission capable, PACS will eliminate the requirement for a downrange LR cockpit and flight crew for MQ-9 deployment, increasing the agility of the MQ-9.
