-      "intro": "An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system, which includes a UAV, a ground-based controller, and a system of communications between the two. The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator or autonomously by onboard computers.\r\n\r\nCompared to manned aircraft, UAVs were originally used for missions too \"dull, dirty or dangerous\" for humans. While they originated mostly in military applications, their use is rapidly expanding to commercial, scientific, recreational, agricultural, and other applications, such as policing, peacekeeping, and surveillance, product deliveries, aerial photography, agriculture, smuggling, and drone racing. Civilian drones now vastly outnumber military drones, with estimates of over a million sold by 2015, so they can be seen as an early commercial application of Autonomous Things, to be followed by the autonomous car and home robots.",
+      "intro": "Military use of unmanned aircraft systems has grown by leaps and bounds over the last decade.  In 2012, the US Air Force trained more drone pilots than normal pilots; the US Military has over 1,300 drone pilots in active service.  Where drones were once used strictly for surveillance, their role has expanded as technology advances and budgets increase.  Drones come in all shapes and sizes, from very small spy drones to large weapon-bearing predators.  Unencumbered by human cargo, some drones can stay in the air for over six months, observing a target from high in the sky, completely invisible from the ground.",
