tracking every keystroke made by the pilots as they guide the vehicles on their missions.....
In my humble experience, I would wager that you could extrapolate the square root of nothing (polite version) from such keystrokes. Guiding the vehicles around would just give a load of numbers as they changed height, heading etc. Just sayin.......
I am wondering what drones do when something goes wrong with their communications
My understanding is that if it loses it's communications, then it has a set mission it would go and do, taking it home, until it got link back.
