An RQ-2 Aerial Drone during takeoff
An unmanned aerial vehicle, commonly referred to as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot onboard. Its flight is controlled either autonomously by onboard computers or by the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle.
Day 6
The RQ-2 was an advanced combat drone developed by the United States armed forces. One of these drones, tail number 0709, was stolen by ex-Soviet terrorist Dmitri Gredenko, who contracted Abu Fayed's organization to outfit the aircraft to detonate a suitcase nuclear device in San Francisco. ("Day 6: 7:00pm-8:00pm")
Day 8
The relaunched CTU New York, instead of relying solely on satellite surveillance as other domestic units had, maintained a fleet of drones to provide high-resolution surveillance of the entire New York metropolitan area, and hired a specialized analyst Arlo Glass to pilot and maintain them. Though rarely used offensively, the drones had anti-rocket countermeasures and at least some were outfitted with AGM-114 Hellfire missiles. During Day 8, CTU relied on the drones for reconnaissance and tracking, notably during a botched pickup for informant Victor Aruz and, the next afternoon, to stop Charles Logan's hired mercenaries from executing Jack Bauer. ("Day 8: 4:00pm-5:00pm", "3:00pm-4:00pm")
Day 9
Derrick Yates, a British criminal hacker and former member of the Open Cell organization, hacked into a military drone above Kajaki Province in Afghanistan by using an override module, firing Hellfire missiles upon a U.S. Army convoy, killing four soldiers. This served as a test and a demonstration that the override works. Margot Al-Harazi plans to hijack 10 drones and use them to target the city of London in a series of attacks. (Lx01)
