Scientists grow a 'brain' from 25,000 neural cells extracted from a rat embryo and train it fly an F-22 flight simulator. The simplicity of the experiment is mind boggling. If this can be done, think of applying it to UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles). Imagine UAV's doing recon or bombing runs with a rat (or human) 'brain' at the controls.
