I'm not trying to say CAS with UCAVs is impossible; I just cannot accept the
contention that blue-on-blue will somehow be reduced or eliminated because of
their use.

While this is certainly not my field it would seem to me that it
'would' indeed help to mitigate B on B because of the old "OH MY
GOD!, if that 'target' actually _is_ enemy then I've got about 2
seconds to live!...do I shoot or not?!?. Whereas if the operator
is quite safely installed in an airconditioned trailer miles away
then he might be thinking "Jesus!, if that target really is enemy
then our multi-dollar UAV has only 2 seconds to live".

Big difference I'd think (but then, whadda I know?)
