...yep, yet again ALL UAS are classed as 'the same' to the underinformed - in the same way we classify a Cessna 150 and A330......
...an Airbus has NEVER settled into the trees on go-around...
..An F-16 has NEVER bombed a JTAC...
..A C-17 has NEVER landed 'firm'..
..an Ultra-Light has never hit a home on take-off..
I am presuming that all of these were flown by qualified crews who did not intentionally perform the above..
My point is that before you class ALL UAS in the same way, a better understanding of each systems capabilities, roles link management, and lost link logic should be considered.
...I agree that there are less capable UAS out there than others, and others are flown by undertrained and uninformed crews. Whilst ALL UAS should be subject to robust airworthiness scruitiny - and clearly some need prohibition, and whilst the comments of the blind critics are generally sound, the generalisations fail to display systems understanding.
...I also FIRMLY believe that RPAs should be flown by rated Pilots..
