States Marines Warfighting Laboratory
With the ongoing development of UCAVs offering significant capability upgrades in
the Close Air Support (CAS) arena, forces will soon face a major challenge integrating
new assets into a balanced fighting structure. This workshop will look at the recent
experience of the US in CAS force development including:
• Integration of UCAV for CAS
• Training UCAV operators and users in CAS operations
• Non-Traditional intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (NTISR) in CAS missions
• Examine the ethical arguments regarding the use of UCAVs in CAS
This workshop will afford participants an understanding of the challenges involved
in integrating UCAVs into Close Air Support, their respective merits, strengths
and weaknesses, and the benefits they can bring. Participants will also gain an
understanding of the challenges to integrating UCAVs into Close Air Support, their
respective merits, strengths and weaknesses, and the benefits they can bring. You
will also gain an understanding of the challenges of utilising CAS in the kinds of
operations that will be faced for the foreseeable future.
