It has no pilot, no windows, and it's flown by remote control. But this odd-looking plane is already credited with helping destroy nearly 750 enemy targets. It's the Predator, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Join NOVA for this rare look at some of the most significant developments in military weaponry, and learn about the UAV's dangerous and costly history, how flying insects are helping researchers create the first micro UAV, and how the military's unmanned aerial vehicles may someday lead to pilotless commercial air travel.
