Since the beginning of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM, Department of
Defense investment in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) has exploded
almost 700% to just under $4 billion per year in 2009. This
expansion was caused by the successful application of UASs
primarily in their role as intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance (ISR) platforms, but also as ISR/strike platforms
because these particular mission sets fit the capabilities of UASs.
Going forward with these successes, the Department of Defense (DoD)
should assess potential future UAS missions by first determining
what particular characteristics of the ISR and ISR/strike missions
made them successful as UAS missions and then determining what
other missions fit these same characteristics. Emergency and
mission-critical, time-sensitive (MCTS), intra-theater logistical
resupply fit the characteristics of being advantageous to
persistent, efficient, modular systems integrated into a pervasive
battle space. Work is currently underway developing UASs to
accomplish these missions, but these current applications do not
focus on these specific characteristics. Instead a UAS designed
specifically as a logistical delivery platform with modular
ISR/strike capabilities and long endurance should be developed to
fill these missions.

journalists Charles Bean (Joel Jackson), Ellis Ashmead Bartlett
(Dancy) and Phillip Schuler (Worthington) as they arrive in
Gallipoli in 1915. They are sent in with the Allied troops to
report on the war first-hand but the correspondents encounter
obstacles in their mission to accurately report the escalating
conflict.
