For which vehicle is the RPA Sensor Operator responsible?

The RPA (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) Sensor Operator is specifically responsible for operating sensors aboard unmanned aerial vehicles. The MQ-9 is a well-known example of such an RPA, designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, among other roles. This aircraft allows for real-time data collection and is equipped with various sensors that the operator utilizes to gather and analyze information.

In contrast, the other vehicles listed either fall into manned categories or do not primarily serve the role of an RPA. The EC-130/37 and RC-135V/W/S/U are manned reconnaissance and electronic warfare platforms, and the C-5 is a large transport aircraft. Their missions differ fundamentally from that of the MQ-9, which is centered around remote operations and sensor management. Thus, the responsibilities of the RPA Sensor Operator align exclusively with the MQ-9 and its capabilities.
