Will a UAV make us redundant or just safer ?
It would seem that MOD is hell bent on buying a (decent) UAV. There are currently a number of projects studying where and when we would use it, and also which bits we need bolted on.
My question is, as some of them fly themselves there and back but still have the "man in the loop" as a sensor operator. What happens to us ?
Currently Predator pilots are volunteers as they are guaranteed the choice of aircraft at the end of their tour. So I doubt its much fun then
