The technology may be there or not far out from present but a safe enough data link may never be accomplished.
Look back at WW2 and the use of gliders during D-Day. I can foresee one time use cargo drones in war zones.
Troops in engagement and low on ammo and a disposable drone crash lands with new supplies.
Reusable cargo drones to and from forward air bases over hostile terrain.
But I don’t see converted pilotless freighters over congested areas.
We can’t even secure our national electrical grid.
