Abstract

This month's cover article challenges Air Force leader on the subject of unmanned aerial vehicles. Lt. Col. Lawrence Spinetta and Missy Cummings see disaster, or at least a long-term slide into irrelevance, in recent decisions that appear to under value UAVs in caparison with manned fighters and bombers.
