Since we’re an engineering channel, let’s take a look under the hood.
The airframe is constructed from advanced composite materials, reducing weight and increasing structural integrity.

While The main landing gear features titanium struts, enhancing strength and reliability.

Right at the front, you’ll find the Angle of Attack sensor — a key part of how the drone understands airflow and stability.

Just behind that are the GPS modules and the batteries, tucked in neatly to power and guide the aircraft.

Moving along, this is where the famous Lynx Sar radar is mounted.
Think of it as a high-powered camera, but instead of using light to create images, it uses radar waves.

It sends signals down to the ground, and when those waves hit something like a vehicle or a building, they bounce back.

The radar then pieces together those reflections to create a detailed picture of what’s below — even if it’s cloudy, stormy, or pitch dark.

Further back sits the M Q-9 Reaper’s Sat com dish.
This is what lets the drone stay connected far beyond the operator’s line of sight by linking up with satellites parked way out in geostationary orbit.
Sure, there’s a tiny delay due to the distance the signal has to travel, but even with that, remote pilots can control the Reaper from thousands of miles away, with incredible precision.
And finally, just behind the Sat com dish are the communication data links, which handle more localized control.
Above that, you’ll spot the C-band antennas — these handle short-range, line-of-sight communication when the drone’s operating closer to base.
