Piecing the puzzle together, RPAs provide crucial CAP capabilities: Pre-flight maintenance
With a mission fully planned, remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) and ground control stations (GCS) must be in complete working order to ensure the aircrew has an operational RPA to get the mission done successfully and safely. To accomplish this task, Airmen from more than 19 Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs) work together to manage the safety of the aircraft by ensuring its weapons are correctly built and loaded, the GCSs are operational, the data links are active, and the equipment needed to maintain the aircraft are operational to ensure remotely piloted aircraft operations can be conducted worldwide.
