.
developing and fielding the capability for UA to “see” and autonomously avoid other aircraft providing an equivalent level of safety to comparable manned systems (USAF, USA , USN, USMC)
5.
Improve Combatant Commander UAS effectiveness through improved joint service collaboration. (OSD, JFCOM, USAF, USA, USN, USMC)
6.
Develop and field reliable propulsion alternatives to gasoline-powered internal combustion engines on UA, specifically their replacement with heavy fuel engines. (OSD, USAF, USA, USN, USMC)
7.
Improve adverse-weather UA capabilities to provide higher mission availability and mission effectiveness rates. (OSD, USAF, USA, USN, USMC)
8.
Ensure standardized and protected positive control of weapons carried on UA. Develop a standard UAS architecture including weapons interface for all appropriate UA. (OSD, USAF, USA, USN, USMC)
9.
Support rapid integration of validated combat capability in fielded/deployed systems through a more flexible test and logistical support process. (OSD, JFCOM, USAF, USA, USN, USMC)
6.4 FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Although this Roadmap is specifically focused on the Department’s UAS development and fielding efforts, a much larger perspective is emerging requiring a guiding document similar to the UAS Roadmap. This larger perspective is to encompass all unmanned systems, whether UA, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), or Unmanned Marine Vehicles (UMVs). This family of emerging technology and capability shares many similar attributes and will in all likelihood operate in close coordination, even

as a team. Many of the efforts within the UA realm have equal interest and application for other unmanned systems within the Department. To facilitate coordinated future development of technologies and common operational issues, related unmanned systems Roadmap documents are posted at the following locations:
. UGVs are addressed in the Joint Robotics Master Plan at

. UMVs are addressed in the Navy Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) Master Plan at NIPRNET

The requirement for interoperability among UA is equally important for between UA and manned systems as well as other unmanned system types. The need for an UA to communicate and interact with a UGV is not far off. The Army’s FCS program is exploring such concepts. In all likelihood, future UUVs may themselves deploy UA to extend their capabilities and improve overall system performance. Small UA that become unattended ground sensors will blur the distinction between the classes of unmanned systems. These simple examples argue that, to the maximum extent possible, the common UA vehicle interface now in development should be investigated for applicability to other unmanned systems. The ultimate goal is seamless integration into the battlespace of humans and unmanned, UA or otherwise, systems.
