With no new aircraft development programs firmly locked in, Army aviation may be able to expand its portfolio through other means. For several years, aviation officials have asserted they should “own” Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Currently, UAVs belong to the Army’s intelligence community, which is responsible for developing their warfighting doctrine, procuring the systems, and operating them on the battlefield. But, aviation branch proponents argue, as a platform that flies, UAVs should be melded into the aviation domain.
