Default RE: Try and model this one!

The J-UCAS..........we did a lot of hydraulics and ECS for that beast, before NGC kicked us out and decided to take the whole pie by themselves.

I hope everybody understands the concept of Autonomous and the possible consequences on R/C. I see it fairly simple, Autonomous and R/C cannot co-exist. With conventional UAV's, we can stretch it out, but once these Terminators start coming out...................it's going to suck! But I think we still have a good 10 years before we start hearing about it.

Not even the FAA has the slightest idea of how manned traffic will be affected. I've heard that synchronizing flight tests with the FAA has been a real challenge to say the least, even over non-populated areas.

BTW, J-UCAS is military, but I guarantee you that there will be a long line of commercial and government costumers that will want this technology for an endless list of applications.
