As reported in CSM today, the latest DoD Unmanned Systems Roadmap was released. As a primary contributor to the earliest roadmaps, I can tell you, this version is poised to make a big impact. During the tenure of this version of the roadmap, we will find that the balance between manned and unmanned in various military functions/capabilities will tilt in favor of unmanned. Soon, those who seek to maintain the manned dominance over unmanned will find themselves on the slippery slope.
