The concept of air refueling has been proven to be of enormous benefit to the capability of the Air Force. Requirements for air refueling resources have been steadily increasing as a result of improving enemy defenses and changing tactics of U.S. Forces. The most recent added burden is the requirement to refuel strategic airlift forces if the use of enroute air fields is denied. This requirement provides the impetus for the development of the Advanced Tanker/Cargo Aircraft (ATCA). The thesis investigates the problematical environment surrounding the ATCA program.
