Using drones: principles, tactics and results (amended title)

[davidbfpo]

This week marks the tenth anniversary of the RAF using drones, known as Reaper and Birmingham University's ICCS & Oxford Research Group's Remote Control Project - with a wide range of opinions present. A full transcript of the presentations will appear soon.

There is a three year old report by ICCS on drones:https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools...ct-drones.aspx

A couple of snippets: Peter Lee, a teacher @ RAF Cranwell, was a RAF Chaplain for seven years and is writing a book on RAF Reaper operations, including sitting with the operators. The book is due out next year.

One speaker referred to the USA seeking to change the Missile Technology Control Regime agreement, to enable commercial sales. See:https://www.reuters.com/article/us-t...-idUSKBN1CG0F4
