The 21st Century has posed challenges that have forced the Air
Force to re-examine its identity and culture. Aircraft flying over
hostile skies these days may not even contain pilots.
Remotely-piloted aircraft have resurfaced in the past 15 years and
have taken center stage in current conflicts. The Air Force is
facing a period of cultural friction while integrating this
artifact since it challenges some of the Air Force's basic
underlying assumptions. This study addresses the cultural
challenges the Air Force will face as the role of remotely-piloted
aircraft expands, and it gives insight into how Air Force culture
will shape and be shaped by these artifacts. The study begins by
analyzing organizational culture and identifying two of the Air
Force's basic underlying assumptions: pilots fly aircraft, and
pilots lead the Air Force.
