The General Atomics MQ-1 Predator is an American remotely piloted (unmanned) combat air vehicle manufactured by General Atomics. It was introduced into service in 1995 and has been deployed for combat operations in various countries. The design, initially conceptualized by Abraham Karem, was later entrusted to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems for further refinement and production in 1994. Making its inaugural flight the same year, the MQ-1 Predator found primary usage within the United States Air Force (USAF) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Designed to serve as an aerial reconnaissance and forward observation aircraft, the Predator is equipped with a range of cameras and sensors, powered by a Rotax engine. It underwent modifications to become a combat variant, enhanced to carry and launch two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles or alternative munitions.
Red Box is delighted to present an extensive selection of ground power equipment tailored for this aircraft, encompassing tugs, ground power units, start power units and more, perfectly aligned with the requirements of the General Atomics MQ-1 aircraft.
