Out of interest once they reach a certain level of basic ability wouldn't it be easier to have them in "packs" rather than trying to basically replicate everything a human pilot can do in a single drone? If you have a "pack" of drones big enough that a single enemy combat aircraft can't take them all down at once then if an enemy aircraft were to fire on a drone in the "pack" it could automatically be designated an enemy and be hunted by the remainder?
