The first UAV was developed and operated by Samuel Pierpont\nLangley, in 1896. During World War I, two separate efforts were conducted to\ndevelop UAVs for surface attack. While neither effort was finished in time to\nsee combat, the Sperry Torpedo and Kettering Bug both flew in 1918 as\nunmanned, automatically controlled bombers. UAV development stalled until\nWorld War II, when development was again too late to contribute to the war.\nThe BQM-34 was developed in the 1950s and used operationally as a\nphotoreconnaissance platform. More recently, UAVs have developed along two\nvery distinct paths. Vehicles like Helios and Global Hawk have been engineered\nfor extreme range and altitude, making them large. In contrast, the Black\nWidow, which has a wingspan of only six inches, was developed to be portable\nand travel to places where humans cannot go. The UAV is not new, and past\nexperience can be used to chart the course for future development. Today the\nrevolution in technologies such as signal and image processing and sensors can\nbe leveraged to permit UAVs to assume a larger role in Air Force missions.The\nAir Force is off to a good start as an operational user of UAVs. Ten types of\nUAVs were used in OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM. These UAVs performed traditional\nintelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance functions as well as a range of\nmore novel missions. One of the UAV’s most used and desired attributes was\npersistence. The marriage of Predator to the Hellfire missile resulted in an\nunprecedented capability to hold targets at risk, with a level of endurance\nthat made it difficult for the adversary to hide. Special Forces used portable\nUAVs to scan their areas of operations, enabling them to achieve tactical\nsurprise.
