Is htv risky?

An even better example might be in air refueling. The human workload
there is pretty high. You've got at least two pilots and a boom operator
who all have to be "on their toes" during the entire operation. That's a
really hard task to automate. I'm not sure if it's ever been done in an
automated or teleoperated fashion. I wonder if the USAF has experimented
with in air refueling of UAV's...

Looks like this has been done as a research program:

Makes me wonder how much work is left before this sort of capability could
be deployed in the field. Imagine UAV's that only have to land for
maintenance. Cool.
