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:
“Who are we? And for what are we going to fight? Are we the titled slaves of George the Third? The military conscripts of Napoleon the Great? Or the frozen peasants of the Russian Czar? No—we are the free born sons of America; the citizens of the only republic now existing in the world; and the only people on earth who possess rights, liberties, and property which they dare call their own.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“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)
