Re: Only reason they are keeping pilots in the mix

Doug,

perhaps not. Current rumours about the latest flying hardware investigations indicates reason is soaking into USAin military thinking, once the F35 disaster has ground its way to a much loathed past. Different platforms, including aircraft for different roles, whod a thunk ? Long terms plans for wetware flown aircraft are predicated on idea that humans manage unpredictable or novel situations faster and better than drones. eg startups with a rational idea versus corporates. I digress. In some situations like sub hunting or mine sweeping drones will do better. Doing a marauder attack requires much more variability to respond than mere silicon.
