Started out in DC-3s, did we? Well, move aside grandpa, things are changing. Automation of most everything is almost here. We can count on pilotless combat aircraft for almost all missions, Unattended Ground Vehicles for many forms of ground combat, Unattended Sea Vehicles, the whole nine yards. Removing human error is the direction technology is taking, count on it.
No offense, Buddy, but things always change. I was in artillery for nearly 40 years but I was the Program Manager for the world's first completely automated artillery system. Works, fine, hits what it's supposed to, no people.
Wrong again. Sometimes FR can be a bore when folks spout off about things they know nothing about. You have no clue. I am an Airbus Captain at the largest airline in the world. I’ve flow nearly every modern airline type. If the “autopilot” could do it all, what are they paying me 210k a year for? I’d love to wrap someone like you inside a level 5 TRW and let you barf your lungs out. Cheers.
