Potential Benefits

There are many advantages in having this type of weapon in the United States; the army wouldn't need to put so many people's life in risk, there would be less soldiers sent overseas and more protecting the United States, and also take out any operations that intend to surpass the United States in the advancement of technology in warfare.There are many private organizations that have their hands on the predator drones, either to keep their area safe from potential danger or gather intelligence from rival organizations and the predator drones does a great job in doing so because the drone provides stealth and different ways to observe the area where the drone is located either by infrared, night vision or zoomed in vision. Such advantages are used by national security organizations such as the CIA to get an idea on the location of the enemy, the amount of enemies in the area and whether or not to pursue the mission because either it's too risky to send in operatives or just use the predator to take out the targets.
