The UK Approach to Unmanned Aircraft Systems

UK Ministry of Defence, The UK Approach to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Mar.30, 2011) (Joint Doctrine Note 2/11 (JDN 2/11)) (full-text).

Overview
This publication considers how UAS may contribute to the UK's future defence and security needs between now and 2030. Its purpose is to identify and discuss policy, conceptual, doctrinal and technology issues that will need to be addressed if such systems are to be successfully developed and integrated into future operations. Although broad agreement has been achieved amongst contributors, the JDN does not describe a position of consensus. It does, however, seek to energise debate within the UK and move UAS-related thinking forward.
