摘要：
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has progressed considerably over the past twenty years. UAVs originally served only in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) roles, but nowroutinely conduct strikes in support of commanders‟ objectives. As UAVs are further integrated into the nation‟s Joint Air capabilities, many proponents assert that they will soon replace the fullspectrum of manned platforms. This would include service in roles such as Air-to-Air superiority,Air-to-Ground strikes, Electronics Warfare (EW), Command and Control, and Sustainmentoperations. It is essential that proven UAV technology be carefully and methodically integrated into the commander‟s arsenal of aerial options. This paper identifies critical capabilities and limitationsassociated with UAVs, along with technical challenges and shortfalls that may or may not beremedied in the near future. Finally, it expands analysis to include options for the JFLCC, andconcludes with recommendations for the operational commander.
