An MQ-9 Reaper from Creech Air Force Base, Nevada, prepares to take off using the Automatic Takeoff and Landing Capability at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, July 8, 2021. This capability is a key enabler for MQ-9 Agile Combat Employment and, combined with the MQ-9’s next software upgrade and receipt of the portable aircraft control station, will change how it will be employed in theaters worldwide.
