[quote name="Ray, of Light"][quote name="E. L. Koba"]Yah, the force of the future will be much more integrated tanks and infantry at a lower level and probably will look a little more like a current Cav squadron and less like an armored battallion. Probably with both the Tank (or "fire support vehicle" because we don't want to sound like the "legacy force"), and the IFV based on the same chassis.[/quote] Explain, please, to me the lack of unmanned ... anything in the modern battlefield. Crewless tanks or aircraft would permit designs and tactics that aren't otherwise feasible, and (it seems to me) would offer more offense per dollar/hour/cu.ft of carrier space/litre of oil/whatever. The only drawback I imagine is potential loss of control, but from what I saw on CNN the U.S. military depends heavily on comms anyway. If you lose communication, it's arguable whether 30 cut-off pilots are superior to 90 mini-jets on AI autopilot. Ray![/quote]
