US Air Force, WASHINGTON: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are successfully transforming the way the Air Force does business, and the service is committed to supporting and developing more of them.
Innovative UAV tactics have transformed the battle space as witnessed in Iraq and Afghanistan, said Maj. Gen. Stanley Gorenc, Air Force deputy chief of staff for air and space operations, at testimony before the House Armed Services Committee subcommittee on tactical air and land forces April 6.
“UAVs are transforming the way Air Force and the joint team fight, and are a critical component of the future joint force,” the general said. “UAVs give us operational capability in persistent and precise ways while offering the promise of even more capability in the future.
“The Department of Defense has embraced the distinctive capabilities unmanned systems bring to the joint fight, and the Air Force stands firmly behind this endeavor,” General Gorenc said.
