The era of manned fight is not yet over, nor is its demise imminent. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are, however, currently assuming roles in air power that were previously undertaken by manned aircraft. In future warfare will it be possible for Unmanned Combat Air Systems (UCAS), the next stage in UAS evolution, to undertake the tasks and accept most of the risks that until now have been the lot of military aviators? The aim of this book is to determine where the major threat to a United States-led alliance in 2040 is likely to come from, and whether UCAS will be effective in undertaking all the counter-air missions that are required of a nation’s armed forces in order to gain control of the air.
