The US Air Force is introducing a series of improvements to its Predator/Reaper operations, including multi-aircraft control (Mac) ground control stations, the launching of small drones from the MQ-1/9 and an airborne sense-and-avoid (Absaa) system.
In view of the large number of drones operating over southwest Asia, both the US Air Force and US Army have developed airborne sense-and-avoid (Absaa) systems.
