00:04.040 --> 00:07.840
The Air Force is

00:07.840 --> 00:09.951
working toward becoming the executive

00:09.951 --> 00:12.040
agent for unmanned aerial vehicles .

00:12.050 --> 00:14.106
Basically . This means the Air Force

00:14.106 --> 00:15.828
would be in charge of unmanned

00:15.828 --> 00:17.606
intelligence , surveillance and

00:17.606 --> 00:19.828
reconnaissance systems as well as their

00:19.828 --> 00:22.050
information flow and development . This

00:22.050 --> 00:24.106
change would merge the programs from

00:24.106 --> 00:25.994
other services and streamline the

00:25.994 --> 00:27.994
acquisition process . That's why we

00:27.994 --> 00:30.106
think that someone needs to be a lead

00:30.106 --> 00:32.050
agency for this , have a center of

00:32.050 --> 00:34.610
excellence and operate at least from a

00:34.620 --> 00:38.060
policy and requirements standpoint to

00:38.060 --> 00:39.782
see if we can be a little more

00:39.782 --> 00:42.040
efficient , effective on how we both

00:42.050 --> 00:44.106
get these U . A . V . S . And how we

00:44.106 --> 00:46.106
operate the U . A . V . S . The Air

00:46.106 --> 00:48.161
Force has been using U . A . V . S .

00:48.161 --> 00:50.383
And combat for 10 years and has already

00:50.383 --> 00:52.272
set up to support the joint war .

00:52.272 --> 00:54.439
Fighter . Air Force also stands up its

00:54.439 --> 00:56.550
first U A . V wing this year as plans

00:56.550 --> 00:58.717
for 12 operational squadrons by fiscal

00:58.717 --> 00:59.717
year 2010 .

00:59.717 --> 01:03.050
