An MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft piloted by Airmen from the 556 Test and Evaluation Squadron flies over the Nevada Test and Training Range and fires an Air-to-Ground Missile-114 Hellfire missile, Aug. 30, 2023. The 556th TES performs all software and physical testing to improve the combat capabilities of the MQ-9 Reaper. The MQ-9 can employ four laser-guided Hellfire missiles, which provide highly accurate, low-collateral damage, anti-armor and anti-personnel engagement capabilities.
