#1 Was at a NATO technology meeting on unmanned vehicles a couple months ago. Brit researchers briefed some interesting work on UAV design. The way they got it funded / okay'd was to pretend it was for environmental monitoring, since if they'd said it was for defense uses it would not have been approved.

#2 Excellent point on "officer quality" I'd say. Land Forces are still reeling from Powell and Kekewich's thrashing at Mefeking and Kimberley. Oh sorry, wrong insurgent conflict.
