• Comparison Of The Value Of Attack And Reconnaissance Capabilities Of Unmanned Aircraft Systems Versus Manned Aircraft For Army Commanders And Intelligence Officers by Joseph D. Sage Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University 2010 -- Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have revolutionized intelligence, attack and reconnaissance operations on the modern battlefield for the U.S. Army. However, the debate continues as to whether manned or unmanned aircraft can best serve the requirements of commanders and intelligence officers. Although the utilization of UAS is not new, their applications have been refined over the past nine years, during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. This research; derived from the viewpoints and experiences of commanders, pilots and intelligence officers, validate that combining the strengths of UAS and manned aircraft can produce an exceptional force multiplying asset that will enable commanders and intelligence officers with an improved ability to make decisions, plan, limit risks and better protect the force while establishing dominance on the battlefield.

• The QDR in Perspective: Meeting America's National Security Needs in the 21st Century Quadrennial Defense Review Independent Panel 29 Jul 2010 -- "Congress has required by law that every four years the Department of Defense conduct what would outside of government simply be called a "strategic review" of its existing plans and programs.

We have deliberated for over five months, in the process reviewing a mass of documents (both classified and unclassified), interviewing dozens of witnesses from the Department, and consulting a number of outside experts."
