Completed in September 2008, the study does not provide an exhaustive look at all DoD missions for UAS. However, it does discuss the strengths and weaknesses of manned and unmanned aircraft for certain missions of importance to the Navy. We emphasized traditional Navy missions rather than Navy contributions to irregular warfare, though we included an examination of a few nontraditional missions such as counter-piracy. The study was sponsored by the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Assessment (OPNAV N81). 536 $a The research described in this report was prepared for the United States Navy. The research was conducted in the RAND National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Department of the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies, and the defense Intelligence Community under Contract W74V8H-06-C-0002. 650 0 $a Drone aircraft $z United States. 650 0 $a Airplanes, Military $z United States. 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x Weapons systems 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x Aviation 650 0 $a Air warfare 700 1 $a Alkire, Brien 710 2 $a National Defense Research Institute (U.S.) 710 2 $a Rand Corporation 830 0 $a Rand Corporation monograph series 856 4 $u http://rand.org/pubs/monographs/2010/RAND_MG957.pdf 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171227015318.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825063303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2E0D1126A8B11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
