Birmingham Policy Commission: The Security Impact of Drones
Operational questions
- How would you assess RPAS in terms of
i. general efficacy
ii. compared to manned fixed wing aircraft and
iii. accuracy vis-a-vis civilian casualties and collateral damage? How profoundly do these judgements vary between types of operational scenario and how should that affect potential UK choices?
- What role do you see RPAS playing in a mixed force belonging to the armed forces of a single nation such as the UK?
- How would you differentiate the roles of intelligence gathering and more kinetic uses in the ways RPAS are used?
- How and when do you see the operationalization of fully autonomous systems in the future? In which national Armed Forces?
