Abstract

Modern technology has greatly reduced the personal risk of warfare. With the spread of robotics and drone technology, the soldiers operating them have disappeared from the battlefield. Technological advances have essentially allowed them to serve away from danger zones while remaining vital support units for operations. The integration of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) into the Western military arsenal has significantly transformed the ideals of the soldier. Since drone pilots are not personally involved in direct combat operations, they are not exposed to direct danger to their lives and are not tested in traditional combat skills such as courage and sacrifice, among others. As a consequence, the acceptance of drone pilots serving in modern armies, especially in NATO allied countries, is rather poor, partly because of their role as such and partly because of the public perception of RPA pilots. It seems that, due to our conservative social ideals of personal warfare, the military reputation of remotely piloted combat drone pilots is the lowest in the militaries of the allied states. This paper aims is to present the traditional ideas that have led to the significant marginalisation of service pilots.
