<p>The U.S. Air Force has determined that its fighter pilots do not currently have sufficient access to training ranges with airspace, threat emitters, targets, and electronic support measures capable of representing advanced potential adversaries. The authors explore squadron restationing and range upgrade options that can maximize access to advanced live training ranges while evaluating cost and risk measures associated with these options.</p>

They find that this class of weapon system?called affordable runway-independent unmanned aerial vehicles?can conduct high-volume combat operations with lower resource requirements than traditional platforms.</p>
