Control of the air is the foundation for all conventional military operations against an adversary with an air defence capability. In future warfare, will it be possible for Unmanned Combat Air Systems to undertake the tasks and accept most of the risks that, until now, have been the lot of military aviators?

Colin Wills left New Zealand in 1977 to join the Royal Air Force, serving until May 2014. He was a Qualified Weapons Instructor (Air Defence), with some thirty years' experience as a navigator on F-4 Phantoms and Tornado F-3s. With a passion for international relations and military aviation, he has a PhD in War Studies, from King's College, London. He was appointed MBE in 2004, and in 2008 was awarded Master Air Navigator status by the Guild of Air Pilots and Navigators. Wills is now an Independent Air Power Adviser, specialising in Counter-Air and Unmanned Aircraft Systems tactics and doctrine.
