<i>We need to work [...] while [..] working with the distributed ground crew for processing, exploitation and distribution of mission products</i><p>I&#x27;m a bit confused about the terminology.<p>Are mission products just information? If so, does the text above mean &quot;we need to make sure that the other guys in the loop get the images they need&quot;. Or instead of images it could be people&#x27;s and vehicle&#x27;s positions? Or the identities of people involve in a scene? Or, is it most of the time about mundane things such as just traffic status?<p>It also uses the term &quot;neutralize&quot; when it seems to mean &quot;kill&quot;, which is rather odd. I don&#x27;t see how, from a drone, there could be an intermediate action between watch and kill (barring the finale of the tv series 24). Or could it mean anything else?<p>The journalist does not seem interested in the missions, only about the pilot, which is a pity but fair enough as it is what the title says.
