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:
“My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
—Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)
“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)
