The female controller is actually flying the aircraft. Her flight instruments screen is located in the upper left of the lower central large monitor screen. The other screens are views from the drone itself. The control booths or rooms are made in Garland, Texas by Raytheon. These controllers are in Nevada, and are each flying a drone thousands of miles away in the combat zone in Iraq and Afghanistan. Kill a Taliban leader then go home for dinner! Welcome to the new world of modern warfare.
