0:25 nice
The recruiter lied, this isn’t like a video game; these are real people with families. THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME
this is incredible, thank yall for your service.
Great game.
I wonder if they're allowed to listen to Ride of the Valkyries on the job.
I think only flight of the bumblebee is authorized 😂
Sense they don't seem to know who they are bombing half the time anyway, might as well...fuck it.
A profation I realy LOVE.
It's like a big video game.
Dang these guys are using corsair gaming headsets haha.
Flying The MQ-1 Predator UAV - Pilot Training
AiirSource Military This is the future. one day you won't need remote control
+AiirSource Military do i need to have prior knowledge about drones and drone technology.or would i learn on the job?
+Cristian Luna No, but to be an RPA Pilot, you need to be an officer. To be an RPA Sensor Operator (The dude who controls the camera and the laser designator) you can be enlisted.
Not anymore.
+jimnkristy you do if you want to fly Predators, enlisted are only allowed to fly unarmed global hawks.
I need one of these in my house
This is what I’m going for when I enlist next year 🇺🇸
Rip to u
In good enough time for ww3
I wonder if you have started yet
I'm working towards enlisting
@Черногорский истребитель the vast majority of these pilots are gathering intel, not all of them are piloting the drone strikes lmfao
good kill
what do those buttons on the joystick do?
O PREDATOR XP é um aparelho capaz de vigiar a terra e o mar em qualqueis condições possíveis dia e noite, nublado, com uma visão melhor possível, vigia há maior parte do Rio de Janeiro
so is this like the WFH version of being an air force pilot?
Tryin to reclass to this...tired of working supply
2:31 IRC while piloting! Haha
Wikus Morkel Yes, love the good ole MIRC use.
"so happy triceracops is at work"
I wanna be a drone pilot when I'm old enough
Same
Same
U seem pretty interested in tanks though why not armoured Calvary?
@@Jdkejdnfjef cuz no one wants to die lmao
Is this UAV Air Force or Army? I’m looking at the patches and this looks more like Air Force UAV pilots…I’m actually looking into UAV for my job and can’t figure out which is better. I’m looking to go Army UAV pilot (15W) but also want to do helicopter maintenance (15T) since I can be a flying crew chief. Which is better?
Why?
Dangit I didn't get one for chrismas
i'm enlisting and my mos will be 15w. does anyone know how hard it is to get through flight school for this mos?
Good luck
Enlisted servicemen do not fly. Rated billets are strictly reserved for the commissioned Officers.
Sensor operators can be enlisted servicemen.
Khoa Nguyen enlisted does not fly jets, helicopters, and whatnot. That’s only commissioned officers. Enlisted can and does actually fly drones or ‘UAVs’
I was enlisted and I took trsing course flew for 2 years so they do indeed
Legit question here, can these drones see people under forest canopies? Say like tropical forests im south east asia.
Lol you look like an Asian spy
If they use heat sensing yes
Going to basic in 3 weeks as a 15c ❤️
What’s the difference between 15C VS 15W?
@@hawaiianboy1743 15C you fly the Grey Eagle/ Grey Eagle extended range. 15W you fly the shadow
@@just_simply_alive1130 ok, can you please tell me what your day to day schedule is like please? How long are you flying for? How long are you in the box for? Where can you get stationed overseas. I’ve asked my recruiter this and he seems kinda lost.
@@just_simply_alive1130 what is the difference between both? Why do I hear a lot more people switching to the Grey Eagle compared to the Shadow. I appreciate you answering my questions!! I’ve tried asking a lot of people about this topic and seems like everyone is lost or has no idea. Also, what kind of high paying jobs can I get out of the military being a drone operator? Again, I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions!!!
how do they connect to the drones to fly them? Satelite connectivity, internet, or something else? And is there a delay between the footage and the actual command of operation?
It's probably satalite, and although there will be some delay, it will probably not be massive
@@realmartcraft It is a few milliseconds of delay which is massive enough when flying a plane. Which is why drone control architecture is very different from a traditional fly by wire system in a normal plane.
They have LOS (Line of Sight) connectivity upto 250 km and then it switches to SATCOM (satellite communication) automatically.
@@death_parade oh cool, didn't know that.
Lol why is he wearing a flight jacket hahaha
It's all about immersion.
Because he's a pilot
Hey, what does this video show?
Traning on how to use a drone
Awesome! Are these drones fly by wire?
dave4shmups
They tried wire but it was too thin and kept overheating, so they switched to cable. Then Satellite came in with a better deal and got a 12 year contract. Today they're talking about going off the grid and only using the internet for Netflix and Hulu.
I hear they're just gonna hack an Amazon Fire TV stick actually.
What FPV drone pilots think they look like
BASEMENT OF THE ARCADE EXPOSED
Flight suits???
If the US ever wants to take it to the next level, they should make a recreational game simulation for drone warfare. This could easily weed out those with talent for this kind of warfare. In games, and real life, there is a massive difference in apptitude between different people. If you look at a typical elo system used in chess, or in an mmo, the gap between the average player and the best lies an uncrossable chasm, and no matter how much effort the average person puts in they can never reach that level. If this was applied to drones, and only those incredible talents were used in actual conflicts then I can only imagine the disastrous losses for the opposition, even if they had equal tech and manpower. After all, drone pilots can't be lost. Using any Joe shmoe is in theory wasting millions of dollars in resources.
Meanwhile, a modeller and a coder just cracked open his can of redbull, and just got to work on modelling an MQ-9 for DCS.
Modeller here let’s get this going!
Now we would just need a coder
If you expose again 💨
What to do if one of monitors turns off?
Nik Gavrilov Can’t be worse than the display in a real manned fighter jet turning off mid flight lol
esse é o futuro. um dia não precisará de telecomando
No one speaks your shit hole language bro. I'm in Australia, only north American's humour your shit because they're somehow scared it's racist to say it. But shit me. Everyone on Earth speaks English, it's the universal language, learn it or be doomed to only communicate with a small portion of the world. Specifically those who shit in the streets and are run by narcogangs.
@@bashkillszombies Oooh i´m sorry. I sometimes get too lazy to write in English.
@@ThespianPrince13 Don't be nervous, my opinion in Portuguese is not important. my country buys UAV from Israel.
mirc :)
I would love to do that if they let me keep my VA benefits.
US base
Giv mor arms for how insaid centar afganstan for we cat all tha rod with afganstan
Do you need a Private license to do this?
my Phantom 4 Pro is better tho.... it's even got teh prefix 'Pro+' at
the end so is much more professional. and it can take off qwickly and
everything !
it like playing video game lol
Just a bit harder and u need to be trained
#ChairForce :)
I mean if you can kill the enemy from the comfort of your Lazy Boy isn't going over there to their territory kinda dumb?
raginghawk92 Yeah but they’ll never admit that.

WAIT! I feel a prophecy coming on!-
"Dead bodies will lie like dung on the open field, like cut grain behind the reaper.." (Bible: Jeremiah 9:22)
What
Poor drone pilots, they're stuck in the right seat forever. Seriously though, as a pilot and not a vidya game rivet counter (last sim I played was probably F16 Fighting Falcon in the early 90's - although it's graphics compare to this crap) this is a terrible interface system. A track ball? I haven't seen a track ball in thirty years. They never took on because they're counter intuitive and dumb. Give the man a fucking thumb cymbal on his yoke instead. Also wtf do all these desk pilots fly holding the very bloody base of the stick? They scared that they'll have some kind of brain fart and randomly start firing shit?
They need lots of clearance before firing. Why leave anything to chance?
I'm assuming a lot of it is just because they want a closed loop system, where everything is packaged into the one machine. I'm not a pilot nor do I have any experience with aviation, just taking a guess based on the way their hardware looks to be setup
You would know
I've nearly finished a book of one of the founding squadron commander's who helped develop several aspects of RPA and the MQ1 which includes manuals and procedures. This is a thankless job, pilots are stuck for 8 hours in a container but have the same stress and responsibility as real pilots coupled to the same strict commands. Everyone thought a catapult was a dishonorable way to fight a war, nowadays look at the M1 Abraham tank and its worth.
my Phantom 4 Pro is better tho.... it's even got teh prefix 'Pro+' at
the end so is much more professional. and it can take off qwickly and

I cant tell if u r being seriuse or not
