I've heard of these wonders before - a robot can never replace an autonomous
human with two eyes and innate human curiousity.

You're very wrong. There were some early problems with directional
stability and rotor vibrations, but those were solved long ago. Handling
Qualities were not a problem. If you don't think helicopters are good
fighting machines, you're in the wrong newsgroup.

No Dan, I'm also a system engineer, the Pentagon choice, was the correct,
the Commanche was visualized early the 80's, then the Robotics,
communications and the AI evolved to levels never foreseen, at Afganistan
& Iraq the UAV's and UCAV's performed excellently.
The Commanche really is a wonder, but a wonder out of time.
The stealth reconnaissance can be performed better by an UAV than any
helicopter, the UAVs are much smaller, so are hard to detect, and no crew
run risk.

Will be developed an VERY small ucav to be used on helos and ground
troops, launched on a rocket. Will fly to the reconnaissance area and then
will start an prop to flyover and mark hard targets. then missiles like
the hellfire will eliminate all objectives.

Is not only the economy, also is strategy, the robots will be the next
battlefield troopers.
