Abstract

The article reports on the announcement by Joint-Unmanned Combat Air Systems (J-UCAS) program director U.S. Navy Captain Ralph Alderson that new projects for the U.S. Air Force and Navy are expected to emerge based on lessons learned from the J-UCAS program. One of the principal lessons he has taken away from the project is that unmanned aircraft will offer cost savings over manned platforms. He emphasizes the necessity of propulsion advances to achieve the performance that the services want and cited the need for powerplants with higher specific fuel consumption and thrust.
