Summary

'On Future War' is a 12-part series exploring the evolving landscape of military strategy and defense technologies with a focus on the Indo-Pacific.

On this episode, Mike "Pako" Benitez and Andrew "Scar" Van Timmeren return to examine the concepts, abilities, and future of Remotely Piloted Aircraft in modern warfare. The discussion reviews the history of technology, from early trials in the 1910s to the current day and clarifies the difference between remotely piloted and autonomous aircraft.

Pako and Scar further discuss the incorporation of autonomy in military operations as well as the advantages of autonomy in terms of reconstitution, consistency, improvement of tactical execution and integration of next-generation drones with manned aircraft, stressing the relevance of perception, decision-making, and execution in the human-machine teaming.
