Aunque es el número de enero/febrero, muy interesante este artículo de Air Force Magazine sobre ataques con Reaper: https://www.airforcemag.com/article/rem ... e-warfare/
Una de las muchas recomendaciones que hacen tras analizar varias misiones:...
· 5 Expand RPAs mission sets to include close air support. MQ-9 capabilities and tactics have reached a stage where planners need to rethink allocation for key missions, especially close air support. RPAs have transformed both the amount of firepower they bring to bear on the battlefield and the speed at which this ordnance can be delivered. Despite this, the MQ-9 is still predominantly regarded across the Air Force as an ISR asset, and rarely incorporated into CAS scenarios. According to one Air and Space Power Journal article, a mission ISR plan “is completed on a different timeline by different people in a different division in the [Air and Space Operations Center] and published in a different document. If CAS and ISR integrate, they do so by luck.” While not all CAS scenarios are appropriate for MQ-9s, military planners should embrace an effects-based perspective and try to minimize platform-centric bias.
...
Today, fighters and bombers are no longer the only option for mass strike, and RPAs are no longer just airborne sniper rifles. RPAs can effectively conduct CAS, particularly with small ground team elements like SOF units. These two considerations alone should cause US military leaders to rethink American force posture for the fight against violent extremist organizations.

Orel escribió:Lo puso champi en el tema de drones, pero también merece aquí: los planificadores militares de la USAF aún ven al Reaper como un medio más ISR que CAS, cuando no para de demostrar lo útil que es para CAS. Dice que dichos planificadores tienen un sesgo de plataforma: a algunas las ven para eso y a otras no.

El SOCOM planea conducir unos vuelos de demostración en noviembre como parte del programa "Armed Overwatch light-attack aircraft": https://www.flightglobal.com/fixed-wing ... 09.article
Imagino que este tipo de drones no está diseñado para recibir impactos a baja cota, aunque sea armas "cortas"... quizás por ahí vienen las dudas
