Opportunities

In peace time the services have about 500 unmanned vehicle operations specialists. In times of military action the number may be different, depending on the type of specialties required. Each year the services need new specialists due to changes in personnel and the growing use of this kind of technology. After job training, new unmanned vehicle operations specialists normally work under close supervision to prepare unmanned vehicles for their missions. With experience, they may perform more difficult duties, such as piloting, navigating, and recovering unmanned vehicles. In time, some operations specialists may plan and oversee unmanned vehicle missions.
