Oh Yeeeaa! This type of weapon actually gets me excited. Once the problems are worked out, this provides so many advantages it's crazy.

Same goes for all the unmanned surveillance, and the future possibility of unmanned fighter swarms and bombers.

Yes, when their unmanned there will be less potential for error, won’t there?

I’ve always thought, and I’m sure it’s in the works,

that an unmanned fighter/bomber could be run by 3-6 videogame jocks back in a bunker.

It could perform maneuvers that a pilot couldn’t withstand, and not have to employ the weight required to accomodate a pilot.

Plus, you have all of the individuals in charge of different aspects of air battle, each able to concentrate instead of getting distracted by other aspects of battle, and fear of getting tagged.
