The United States has the most powerful military in the world. Therefore, it is no surprise to see the country top the charts for drone capabilities as well. The US has the largest fleet of military drones in the world, with well over 13,000 unmanned aerial vehicles. Over 60% of these comprise the AeroVironment RQ-11 Raven, that are primarily used for aerial surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition. The US Air Force also operates 275 MQ-9 Reaper and 134 MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones – both built by General Atomics. In addition to this, it is also equipped with 36 RQ-4 Global Hawk developed by Northrop Grumman. The Air Force is actively working with partners in the country’s defense industry to manufacture drone wingmen to fly alongside their fighter jets and bombers.
