The Small (UAS) Problem
Question for the group, do you feel that SUAS belongs in the Air Force and should be it be flown by USAF pilots?
SUAS are coming to the DoD in a big way, but currently there are no plans for a specific MDS or AFSC to fly them. The below article did an excellent job of highlighting dangers that come from SUAS, with the main point being that the USAF can no longer ensure air superiority. While this article mostly discusses counter-UAS, having an organic offensive SUAS capability could greatly aid in tactical and strategic objectives in both large and small scale conflict.
Curious what you all think! Anybody envision putting SUAS on their dream sheet for drop night?!
