Unmanned Aircraft Will Test Air Traffic Control
coondoggie writes "While the skies aren't exactly buzzing with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) just yet, experts are warning their explosive growth will require military and public officials to address the issue sooner than they might think.
The four chiefs of service aviation and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) branches told the Army Aviation Association of America's unmanned aircraft symposium last week that the military should crystallize combat air control regarding UAVs, while domestic authorities must work out access and use of UAVs in domestic airspace. "I'm surprised we haven't had a collision yet," said Rear Adm. Joseph Aucoin, director of the Navy's aviation plans and requirements branch."
Oh fuck off you tedious little house-nigger.
was 'fighting' 'terrorism' (also his favorite 'enemy'), & vaporizing entire populations. talk about meat tenderizers? it could never happen here (complete with unending propaganda, storm troopers, gestapo & death & dismemberment camps) in the gooed ol' us of a, as we are a peace loving benevolent type of folks?
if that's not enough, now we need to be alert on our trip to disneyland that our plane doesn't crash with unmanned spybot drones, possibly due to drunken/overworked airline pilots/flight controllers, these are the daze?
fortunately, this turn of events is outlined in the manual, so it's no big surprise?
as for wildlife, & an atmosphere, who needs 'em, whilst yet another 'glorious victory' is within our grasp?
consult with/trust in yOUR creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead greed/fear/ego based personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?
OTOH, ugly bags of water continue to work when the radio link is severed.
Considering the recent crop of US "Nintendo" pilots blowing up weddings, birthday celebrations, Canadians, brits, Danes, protesters etc. as a matter of routine, I'm not so sure how long that will last either.
