Australian Defence Force officers were tasked with examining official documents to find areas where language could be changed to be more inclusive.
Defence Force removing gender-specific terms. Drones renamed to 'uncrewed' aerial vehicles from 'unmanned'. READ MORE:The Australian Defence Force has banned the term 'unmanned' when referring to drones as part of wide-ranging efforts to make its language more politically correct.
The directive to refer to drones as 'uncrewed' appears to originate from director general of the Defence Aviation Safety Authority , Air Commodore Joseph Medved, according to Freedom of Information documents obtained by The Australian. 'Directors, as we move forward on significant policy and organisational changes please ensure that all of your teams adopt contemporary terminology for UAS – Uncrewed Aircraft Systems from this point forward,' he wrote in October 2021.According to the heavily redacted documents, Air Commodore Medved's email trickled down through various departments and prompted staff to make a spreadsheet on which terms could be nominated for removal.
The Defence member asked for endorsement to replace the terms 'he/she' with 'they', 'man-hours' with 'staff-hours' and 'unmanned' with 'uncrewed' by the following week. His order was prompted after defence staff wore rainbow clothing and held a morning tea to celebrate the 'international day against homophobia, biphobia, intersexphobia and transophia'.
The term unmanned for drones is still used on an Army website, though the Army was also under scrutiny in August for announcing it had changed its combat ration labelling from 'one man' to 'one person'.
