Speaking in December 2001, President George Bush noted the changes that are occurring in the Armed Forces as the result of technological innovation: 'Now it is clear the military does not have enough unmanned vehicles. We're entering an era in which unmanned vehicles of all kinds will take on greater importance-in space, on land, in the air, and at sea.' The need for unmanned combat air vehicles (UCAVs) was illustrated by recent operations in Southwest Asia that employed Predator unmanned aircraft with Hellfire missiles. Although no naval UCAVs currently exist, this shift implies that the sea services must determine their strategic capabilities to avoid using them when manned aircraft or other weapon systems might be more appropriate.
