If anything, remote-controlled CAS platforms will increase blue-on-blue, and

So when will we see a program to train A-10 pilots about the shapes of
armored vehicles operated by the United States military?

Blue-on-blue has happened in every war to date, and will happen in every war in
the future. The trick is to minimize it.

In the CAS arena, the comparative lack of situational awareness on the part of a
remote UAV operator will most likely increase the probability of friendly
fire -- not reduce it.
