You could have land drones i.e. remote control cars or bomb disposal robots.

Bringing this thread back to life and reorienting it slightly, does anyone have house rules for drones? The only GDW rules I can think of for them are from the Twilight Nightmares scenario "Warlord," with its GCUX series of ground UCVs functioning like vehicles with a fixed initiative of 3. They're either disabled on a radio hit (for the smaller drone) or have initiative get worse if the radio is destroyed and have crew hits disable the on-board computer (for the larger drones). They seem workable, but I'm curious what others may have come up with.

We now see how drone warfare has changed the face of warfare.
Could drone warfare also be possible in the Twilight 2000 timeline? By 1995 we had Linux, Apple and Windows PC, the first 64 bit chips were produced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeli...0%E2%80%931999 So, would it be possible for some to even envision drone warfare and how would it evolve, till the EMP would shut them down? And would a comeback later possible? We also had the TOW and HOT missiles among others, so some drone control was already there. |

My father was stationed at White Sands, New Mexico from the mid to late 1950's as an Army Photographer and he remembers seeing and taking pictures of the drones they had back then, many were top secret at the time (he got his top secret clearance at the age of 17 when he joined up).

That said, I don't see why a lot of mid-1990s drone technology wouldn't still work. Radio control would still be possible. Military radio equipment is usually pretty well shielded against EMP. Reconnaissance drones could be programmed to follow a pre-determined flightpath. Quote:
