Or quite possibly even unmanned tankers flying continuous orbits, not needing to worry about crew duty days.
So do pilots fly these UAS's from ground stations or are they autonomous? Artificial intelligence???
I remain a skeptic...keep us posted on the technological advances...it's interesting.
Unmanned tankers? How about a simple manned replacement for the KC-135? After 4 iterations we still don't have one...ridiculous.
