Radio-controlled aircraft are also used for military purposes, with their primary task being intelligence-gathering reconnaissance. These unmanned aerial vehicles are usually not designed to contain a human pilot (see unmanned aerial vehicle). Remotely controlled target drone aircraft were used to train gun crews.

Famous quotes containing the words military and/or usage:
“War both needs and generates certain virtues; not the highest, but what may be called the preliminary virtues, as valour, veracity, the spirit of obedience, the habit of discipline. Any of these, and of others like them, when possessed by a nation, and no matter how generated, will give them a military advantage, and make them more likely to stay in the race of nations.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
