Drones are great for many missions... until you send them to an enemy that can jam the RF link used for remote control.
Until we develop the technology to build an AGI, there’s still a need for fighters with human beings on board for autonomy.
- kbenson 5y agoI would think that would be more justification for the F-35 as a drone coordinator or controller. It might allow for alternative control mediums (direct or relayed laser, for example), even if maybe eventually only used to update the general mission parameters of the drone if it's controlling itself (i.e. abort, change target, etc).
- fpoling 5y agoI thought that frequency hopping made jamming RF links impractical and the main problem is jamming of GPS.
