Folks,
With all the talk of military drones being some kind of precursor to civil transport operations, there is one rather large pachyderm in the room that nobody mentions ---- ultimately, for military operations, a one way mission is acceptable.
Ultimately, the loss of a drone or a manned military aircraft is no big deal, hardly true for an aeroplane full of warm bodies.
Would somebody like to give serious consideration as to how a computer is going to interpret a weather radar. Even the best current weather radars cannot really define what is ahead (despite the manufacturer's claims) without a lot of experienced human input.
Tootle pip!!
