The objectives of this joint study of the National Research Council National Materials Advisory Board and the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board were (1) to identify needs and opportunities for technology development that have the potential to meet the Air Force’s performance and reliability requirements and reduce costs for “generation-after-next” UAVs and (2) to recommend areas of fundamental research in materials, structures, and aeronautical technologies. The committee focused on technological innovations likely to be ready for development and scale-up in the post-2010 time frame (i.e., ready for use in 2020–2025). The intent is to “leapfrog” current technology development. The development of effective and affordable uninhabited air vehicles (UAVs) has become a priority for the U.S. Air Force because UAVs have the potential to perform autonomously under conditions that are not conducive to inhabited aircraft. UAVs will either save human operators from long or monotonous tasks or, more importantly, will preclude risking human pilots in dangerous situations.
