USAF shots down uncontrollable MQ-9

[SBD-3]

An Air Force MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aircraft crashed in Afghanistan Sept. 13 at approximately 5:30 a.m. Kabul time.

The aircraft was flying a combat mission when positive control of the aircraft was lost. When the aircraft remained on a course that would depart Afghanistan airspace, a U.S. Air Force manned aircraft took proactive measures to down the MQ-9 in a remote area of northern Afghanistan.

The Reaper impacted the side of a mountain and there were no reports of civilian injuries or damage to civilian property at the site.

The aircraft is a medium-to-high altitude long-endurance, unmanned aircraft system. The MQ-9's primary mission is as a persistent hunter-killer against emerging targets to achieve joint force commander objectives.

A board will be convened to investigate the incident.

AAAARRGHHHH!!! that hurts! you are talking to a Winders Beta tester..

That's OK though! In our enterprise we have winders, penguins, true blue, Solaris, Sun, even the evil IBM..

Seriously, I am glad we still have the good old fighter jocks out there.

A robot is still just that. Hope they were able to retrieve what was left of it. It needs lookin' at.

Something about User's Access Control (UAC) that either locked out the pilot or kept asking him for permission to do just about anything:

- Are you sure you wanna roll right?
- Are you sure you wanna climb to 10,000 ft?
- Are you sure you wanna rotate the IR camera?

So they had to call in a human to fix the problem.

Just had a mental image of the controler giving a command to the reaper and the reply comming back,
"Im sorry, i cant let you do that Dave. "
