Out of the loop
Article Abstract:
Congress has ordered the Dept of Defense to make 33% of all operational deep-strike aircraft and ground combat vehicles to be remotely operated within 15 years. In line with this goal, the Senate defense panel has already allotted an increase of $200 million for research and development into unamanned air and ground fighting vehicles. Some unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturers have proposed to robotize existing fighter aircraft.
