Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses curiosity about the community's thoughts on UAVs, highlighting their employment in a company that designs them.
  • Another participant humorously notes the excitement surrounding UAVs, referring to them as "robot spies" and emphasizing their cool factor.
  • A different participant mentions that information gathered by UAVs is reportedly saving lives in military operations.
  • A former military member shares a mixed view, acknowledging UAVs as great tools in theory but criticizing their integration into military force structure.
  • The original poster responds positively, indicating improvements in their work and feedback from the field regarding UAVs.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a range of opinions about UAVs, with some viewing them positively as life-saving tools while others raise concerns about their organizational use in military contexts. There is no clear consensus on the overall effectiveness or implementation of UAVs.

Contextual Notes

I recently graduated with my Physics degree and am now employed by a company that designs and manufactures unmanned aerial vehicles.

I was just curious as to what some of you thought about the whole idea. Some of our vehicles are posted on our internet site incase you want more information about them. Both the Tern and the Evolution (my favorites) have a video link at the bottom of the information page.

I guess that's it for now, just wanted to see if there would be a vivid discussion about UAVs if I posted something about them.

ummmmmm

Don't all respond at once.
 
UAV's are l337, there is nothing cooler than having a robot spy or attack an enemy.
 
i know. from some of the stories that i hear, the information that troops are getting from the UAV's is really saving their lives. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
 
As a former grunt(8 years USMC), I think they are great tools in theory.

How they are organized into the force structure is another issue(badly imo) :)

Good luck at your job.
 
Thank you. We are still overcomming obstacles, but all in all things are getting better, and we are getting better feedback from the field.
