In the fourth story on the same timeline as DOG EATERS, Frank Stillwell, weapons designer and engineer extraordinaire, and a character in FLYWHEEL, sours on hunting-killing by remote control, and applies for a position at the self-sufficient, neo-bohemian community of Flywheel.

MQ-1 Predator is a fully operational system consisting of four air vehicles (with sensors), a ground control station (GCS), and a Predator primary satellite link communication suite. The U.S. Air Force considers the Predator unmanned aircraft system (UAS) a “Tier II” vehicle.

“We’ve moved from using UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) primarily in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance roles before Operation Iraqi Freedom, to a true hunter-killer role with the Reaper.”

Aircraft is always monitored or controlled by aircrew in the Ground Control Station (GCS) and weapons employment is always commanded by the “pilot.”
