    A silhouetted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), consistent with an MQ-1 Predator or MQ-9 Reaper drone, is parked on a tarmac at either sunrise or sunset. A single person in silhouette walks alongside the aircraft on the left side. The dramatic backlighting creates strong shadow patterns across the concrete surface with mountains visible in the background.

    An MQ-1 Predator sits on the flight line after an aircrew flew one of the last MQ-1 local training sorties Feb. 2, 2018, at Creech Air Force Base, Nev. The MQ-1 was active for more than 20 years and evolved from a pure intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platform to later include persistent attack capabilities during that time.
