489th ATKS utilizes new MQ-9 Capability

U.S. Air Force aircrew from the 489th Attack Squadron perform preflight safety checks before initiating the Automated Takeoff and Landing Capability for an MQ-9 Reaper at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada, Aug 3, 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.
