They need to exploit new capabilities and optimize those that already exist. Air National Guard (ANG) remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs) may offer such an opportunity. However, significant sensitivities may arise in the use of military RPAs for domestic missions. There are also constraints at both the operational and policy levels. This report analyzes which domestic RPA missions are best suited to the ANG's current and planned capabilities and explores the policy and operational constraints that ANG RPAs face in conducting such missions. The authors gathered and analyzed data on the kinds of missions that RPAs conduct domestically, the current and future capabilities of the ANG's RPA force (such as sensors), and the policy and operational constraints the ANG faces in using its RPAs to fly domestic missions"--Back cover. 650 0 $a Drone aircraft $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Air National Guard. 700 1 $a McNerney, Michael J. $q (Michael Joseph), $e author. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. $b National Security Research Division, $e issuing body. 830 0 $a Research report (Rand Corporation) ; $v RR-1016-OSD. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180203035518.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826114359.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B7E638055EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
