UAV's are the wave of the future. Designs vary in size from as big as a WWII fighter (maybe larger), to ones that are no bigger than a canary. Someone has to envision and design them. It is hard to believe that someone sits in a control room in Nebraska, USA piloting a UVA in Pakistan, but that is what is happening. Not only that, the USAF is hard pressed to come up with enough "pilots" to fly these things, they way they have had the position defined. Here is the latest for the US Navy. I think the world is passing us by, in a hurry
