For instance, when an air-traffic
controller needs to talk to a UAV's remote pilot, the radio link
should work in the same way as it does for an aircraft with an onboard
pilot - the controller must be able to talk to the remote pilot as if
they were sitting in the UAV, rather than having to be manually
patched through by a radio operator.

I think this is going to be pretty hard for them to do
because ATC has never told anyone to do anything absurd or dangerous...

The thing needs to be like a pilot, listening to ATC, but making it's
own decisions and asking questions... also, anything with voice
recognition will be interesting (there are controlers that are just
harder to understand than others).

ATC: Hotel alpha lima one zero zero zero, turn left heading zero nine
zero, descend and maintain six thousand for traffic.

UAV: I'm sorry, Dave, but hotel alpha lima one zero zero zero is
unable.

lmao.

Hotel alpha lima one zero zero zero I know I've made some very poor
decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my
work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and
confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

Triple isn't part of the ICAO/FAA phonetic alphabet, as far as I know,
although I imagine some people use it in practice. The British are
very fond of "double" and "triple."
