Which AGM is utilized with RPAs like the MQ-1 and MQ-9 Reaper?

The AGM-114 Hellfire missile is specifically designed for use with Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPAs) such as the MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper. The Hellfire missile is a precision-guided munition that is effective against armor and other targets, making it well-suited for the roles that these RPAs perform, including reconnaissance and strike missions.

Its design allows it to be carried externally by the aircraft, and it can be launched from both drones and helicopters. The integration of the Hellfire missile with RPAs enhances their combat capabilities, allowing for precise targeting and engagement of ground and maritime threats while minimizing collateral damage. This capability aligns perfectly with the operational requirements of the MQ-1 and MQ-9 Reaper, which are utilized for both intelligence gathering and armed strike operations.

While other options such as the AGM-88 HARM, GBU-39, and CATM have their specific uses, they do not align as closely with the mission profiles and systems integration requirements of the MQ-1 and MQ-9 as the AGM-114 does.
