Air Force Calls for Unmanned Cargo Aircraft To Supply Hazardous Combat Zones

this is a really good idea. this idea will diffidently decrease the death in hot combat zones
-3D-

Sounds like a missile with a parachute and some floaters to me. How much cargo will it have to haul?

Good for delievering:

1) Supplies to entrenched troops in remote locations.
2) Delievering smaller tacticle drones (increaing range of lesser drones).
3) Delievery of massive ordinances (bombing)

Fill this thing up with Big Dogs and have it land in the middle of a fight releasing the Big Dogs who can travel in various directions to different squads. Sounds like a good plan, but there is an even safer way to fight a war without putting our troops in hazardous conditions. Just ask Japan.

this totally needs to go commercial.

Kudos to the Corps for picking the U.S. company for it's U.S. Defense contract, if I had the cash to spare I'd buy a Marine a beer just for that. Apparently the Air Force has all the jobs and money their family will ever need already.

so why haven't they created this yet? This is perfect for delivering health aids for hurt soldiers in strong combat zones.

Just what the military needs. More parameters to make warfare more convenient. Roboticize every aspect so that we don't have to worry about fighting wars ourselves. We'll just assign individuals to be casualties of war and send them in droves to die as unfortunate victims of computerized warfare. Who cares about trying to deter warfare through the blunt nature of real violence, loss of life and the emotional and psychological ramifications of the people affected by war. Let's just make warfare more convenient. That way we don't ever have to worry about trying to get along with anyone.

But since few people have seen that episode of Star Trek, I guess Sci-fi can no longer teach the vastly growing generation of the dense, whom are so fascinated by flashy images of roboticized gadgets.

But, this is about saving lives in warfare (isn't any intelligent person seeing this huge contradiction). We need technology like this to protect people. We should commercialize it so that people don't have to worry about trusting a flawed pilot. Instead we can trust a machine programmed by a flawed scientist.

Then we should create more supplements like cars that drive themselves, Robots that do our laundry, clean our houses, cook our dinner, fetch our mail, shop for our groceries, and bathe us. This technology along with our already near perfect PCs and 3G devices will allow us to give up on this fallacy called the human experience. Why live life actively when technology can do it for us.
