Operational experience is driving operators to rethink the way they
use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). As the U.S. Army forges ahead
with plans to field a large force of Warrior UAVs—the current program
encompasses 31 systems and no fewer than 372 vehicles—and the British
Army prepares for introduction of the Thales/Elbit Watchkeeper,
industry and military insiders note that operational and manning
realities could inhibit the more ambitious plans.
