The Department of Defense (DOD) reportedly expects to increase its use of
medium unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs,
or "drones") by almost 50% over the next few years, from 65 "orbits" to 90. (An orbit is continuous coverage by one
UAV for 24 hours; it may require three UAVs working in shifts to provide one orbit.)
Such an increase would comport with defense leaders' pronouncements and think-tank articles regarding the future of
UAVs, continuing demand for intelligence to support current operations, and mass-media articles predicting an
inexorable rise of remotely operated combatants.
On the other hand, the reported DOD intent to expand UAV missions would seem to be inconsistent with DOD's own
procurement history and plans.
