I was just wondering the same thing. I wonder if the racks for the hellfire missiles would work for stingers. I wonder if we can monitor approaching enemy aircraft from satalite and then fire the stingers remotely and have them seek out the aircraft without having to add onboard radar and defense mechanisims. If we can see them through other means would we need to put it all on the preditor if the stinger is fire and forget? Any thoughts?

Not a chance you could do this by Satelite they are just too high up. We could do it though if we had AWACS nearby say within 500 miles or so.
