Military drones started with the CIA - I listened to the retired director that initiated the effort, on NPR. They used drones in countries who either didn't have radar or had forgotten how to connect it with weapons systems, which included "almost everywhere". They wanted a sustained (24 hour) observation platform in the field, and drones filled the bill. I'm sure they might ultimately get to fighter-jet performance, but at a much greater cost and reduction in mission time. |
