Slide 9 of 16
Notes:
Now that UAVs are established in both current operations and future battle plans, what do we want UAVs to do for us? There are as many good ideas as there are smart people in this conference. Over the years we've identified most potential UAV missions and payloads, but the future is unlimited. Having said that, however, there are real fiscal force structure constraints. For example,our Brigade Commander's UAV is intended to be a simple as possible with only an EO/IR payload initially. We want to partner with industry to do this in a cost effective and meaningful way.
