US Air Force To Become Partially Pilotless In 10-15 Years

Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, said on Tuesday that the US Air Force is expected to become partially pilotless within the next 10-15 years.

The US Air Force will become partially pilotless in the next 10-15 years amid the ongoing fundamental change in technology, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said on Tuesday.
