Of the five joint functional categories (JFC) examined in the IPL process, Table 3.2-2 counts the total number of UAS-related IPLs in each. Battlespace awareness shortfalls call for additional surveillance platforms with persistence and multi-capable sensors, such as provided by increased numbers of Global Hawks, Predators, and other endurance UAS. Command and control shortfalls call for increases in tactical communications, such as could be provided by communication relay payloads on endurance UA (e.g., DARPA/Army AJCN). Force application shortfalls call for survivable, quick response, precision strike combined with actionable intelligence, such as the Predator/Hellfire and Predator B/GBU-12 provide and future J-UCAS will provide. Protection shortfalls call for increased base security and CBRNE reconnaissance, for which roles a number of small UAS types are now deployed (Dragon Eye, FPASS, ScanEagle) are being developed.

3.3 MISSION REQUIREMENTS RANKED FOR UAS
In response to a 2004 JCS request, each COCOM and Service was given the opportunity to rank the importance of 18 missions relative to four general classes of UAS, small, tactical, theater, and combat. Their responses were consolidated into a single matrix of rankings, as provided in Table 3.3-1. Reconnaissance is ranked as a higher priority (#1) for combat UA than is the strike mission itself (#3). SOCOM rankings showed little/no divergence from those of the other COCOMs, reversing the trend found in past surveys.
