This monograph proposes the use of close and short range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a valuable air reconnaissance asset that is needed on the tactical battlefield. Current intelligence gathering assets at division and below don't have the range to gather information throughout the commander's entire area of operation. This is still the case when augmented by corps assets. Air reconnaissance provided by higher level can cover the area, but the response time is inadequate at the tactical level. To solve this, a UAV company is needed at division level. Keywords: Remotely piloted vehicles; Aerial reconnaissance; Surveillance; Battlefields; Drones. (cp)
