    British soldiers are racing virtual drones through video game mountains and tracks before taking to the skies for real

    British Army soldiers in the 1st Battalion of the Irish Guards use commercial video game simulators to train for drone warfare, requiring at least 30 hours of virtual practice before transitioning to real drones. The UK and US militaries emphasize that simulators save equipment, money, and training time by reducing errors from inexperienced pilots. The US Army employs a similar approach in its Unmanned Advanced Lethality Course at Fort Rucker.
