MQ-9 103 ATKS – 111 OSS Jet Black Super Wide Canvas Print with Floating Black Gallery Frame.

The 103rd Attack Squadron (103 ATKS) and the 111th Operations Support Squadron (111 OSS) both fall under the 111th Operations Group (111 OG) and are part of the 111th Attack Wing (111 ATKW) at Horsham Air Guard Station, Pennsylvania. They operate the MQ-9 Reaper supporting ongoing combat operations overseas. Horsham Air Guard Station is only 15 minutes north of Philadelphia and has a rich history dating back to 1924.

The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (formerly named Predator B) is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of remote controlled or autonomous flight operations, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) primarily for the United States Air Force (USAF). The MQ-9 and other UAVs are referred to as Remotely Piloted Vehicles/Aircraft (RPV/RPA) by the USAF to indicate their human ground controllers. The MQ-9 is the first hunter-killer UAV designed for long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance. In 2006, the then–Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force General T. Michael Moseley said: “We’ve moved from using UAVs primarily in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance roles before Operation Iraqi Freedom, to a true hunter-killer role with the Reaper.
