Simulation and Training for UAV Operations
This document discusses simulation and training for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations. It notes that most militaries have a young workforce accustomed to video games who could be attracted to operating real drones. It outlines how simulation and virtual reality can be used for rapid mission training and rehearsal of UAV operations. However, it also discusses cautionary tales about overreliance on automation and the need for humans to understand autonomous systems and maintain control.
