The Air Force Association's Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies invites you to:
New Date: Wednesday, June 28th
- The Release of a New Study -
Consolidating the Revolution:
Optimizing the Potential of Remotely Piloted Aircraft
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fifteen years of dramatic growth in demand for the sensor and strike capabilities that remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) afford have left the Department of Defense (DOD) struggling to meet mission demands.
The Mitchell Institute’s new study explains how the RPA revolution, fueled by wartime needs and budgets, resulted in disorganized development in the years after September 11, 2001; examines key problems facing RPA mission categories; and prescribes a set of actions that will result in a more coherent path forward for optimizing RPA for joint force operations. The study recommends that Congress and the DOD consider actions to place the remotely piloted aircraft enterprise on a path toward coordinated, expanded, and enhanced effects.
