UAV batteries of the RA take this matter extremely seriously
Exactly why I said the
non-aviation Army bods. I was trying to avoid a gross generalisation of all in the Army. Not clear enough, sorry for any insult unintentionally given.
However; me in an aircraft with everthing to lose vs someone on the ground who doesn't have the same vested interest in making sure they land safely is not giving me that warm cosy feeling. There are well established deconfliction procedures for air traffic in both GAT and OAT. An obvious start would be to make the UAVs squawk like everyone else. (Something the size of a swallow may well be exempt that requirement IanC! - as long as any airprox's are still investigated and lessons learned).
