RQ-/MQ-1 PREDATOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE
The basic crew for the Predator is one pilot and two sensor operators. They fly the aircraft from inside the GCS via a C-Band line-of-sight data link or a Ku-Band satellite data link for beyond line-of-sight flight.
GLOBAL HAWK
Once mission parameters are programmed into Global Hawk, the UAV can autonomously taxi, take off, fly, remain on station capturing imagery, return and land. Ground-based operators monitor UAV health and status, and can change navigation and sensor plans during flight as necessary.
Notice the term pilot isn’t used to describe the person who monitors the Global Hawk UAV health and status. That is because they aren’t pilots.
