These guys... Are they Unmanned Ariel Vehicle Operators or Unmanned Ariel Vehicle Technicians? Can someone please explain! I read that the operators operate the computer systems but also take part in launching and recovery of UAVs. Furthermore, I see the technicians also work with launching and recovery of UAVs just as they do maintenance. Please someone explain the difference.
+philip peter These guys are the ground crew,those who fly this aircraft sit remotely in another bunker and control it from there.Ground crew is responsible for assembling,dissembling,initial check,launching and capturing after landing;The Boeing scan eagle uav is caught in mid air whereas rq-7 lands and it is then captured because it doesn't have breaks and reverse.
