I know you worked with the Air Force so what I wrote was for others. There is a lot of misconceptions on unmanned aircraft.
I agree with you, btw...packages first, stack some hours and then propose a transition to unmanned transports with a pilot initially who can take control if required but is essentially along for the ride.
Edit: We have done some initial design work for two start-ups and get calls all the time from some of the larger companies chasing this. My partner is a known expert in ducted fan design.
Most are way underfunded in terms of understanding the road, a long and winding road, to a certified aircraft that is pilot-less. Revenue is more than a week away
