UCAVs will also have to overcome opposition from those within the armed forces who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. John Warden, a management consultant and former fighter pilot who was the architect of the Gulf war air campaign (and hence of the current air-superiority orthodoxy), says the rise of unmanned aircraft will take some getting used to. But he predicts that 90% of combat aircraft will be unmanned by 2025. The remaining 10%, he suggests, will be held in reserve for sensitive missions that require last-minute decisions by a person on the spot.
In other words, it seems as though there will be less call in future for dashing, highly trained pilots capable of “pulling gees” and flying by the seats of their pants. Indeed, today’s pilots might, says Mr Warden, turn out to have completely the wrong skills to operate UCAVs. But a generation of children reared on computer games will probably feel right at home.
