One thing to realize is that, in the unmanned ISR world, the pilot has very little to do with accomplishing the tactical portion of the mission -- that's what the sensor operator and (depending on the operation) the intel analyst are for. The pilot is simply ferrying the payload to the mission location and ensuring he is following the theater-specific admin rules of flying.
Kinda like Mudhen pilots. You row the boat while your wizzo shoots the ducks!
