You have to be a pilot to fly drones in the USAF. Not really sure it's necessary, but that's the policy unless they made changes since I looked into it.


It's true, but this is a political, not technological limitation. Politics can change, and there's nothing that precludes creation of semi-autonomous drones (i.e. a single pilot operating a whole fleet) or fully autonomous ones.
