How come they put a bump for the pilot on a pilotless aircraft?

I asked the same question.

Maybe it’s just tradition..................

It is faster and less expensive to mimic a proven, existing aircraft than to make any changes.

I’m sure it’s for the satellite communications antenna.

That’s where the satgear goes. It’s a radome covering the satellite antenna, etc. If you look at the Global Hawk, same thing. It’s a little less pronounced on the Reaper.
