Background
Predator drones have been very essential in our military system either for gathering information about enemy operations and/or protecting soldiers at war either by warning them of enemies around the area or the predator drone taking them out before the soldiers get to the location. Furthermore, the drone has been in the United States military for a long time. During World War II the United States was at a heavy battle with the Nazi's; one another looking for some sort of advantage to finish off the war. Technologist were always apart of creating new military inventions to create leverage against enemy opponents either by creating tanks, airplanes with machine guns on them or having a human controlled aerial bomber."During World War I, the Navy hired Elmer Ambrose Sperry, the inventor of the gyroscope, to develop a fleet of "air torpedos" unmanned Curtis biplanes designed to be launched by catapult and fly over enemy positions."
