| Summary/Abstract |
As North Atlantic Treaty Organization heads of state and government gathered in Chicago for the 2012 NATO summit, the alliance was once again faced with an abundance of issues and challenges. Initially forecasted as a brief, in-progress review of the decisions taken at the 2010 Lisbon, Portugal, gathering, the Chicago summit quickly emerged as an important crossroads moment for the sixty-three-year-old alliance. The future of the alliance's forces in Afghanistan, continued support to Libya, cyberdefense, and missile defense were but a few of the pressing issues that found their way into an ambitious agenda and the summit's final declaration.

| Summary/Abstract |
Information is an element of combat power and a combat multiplier in the hands of a commander. Field commanders require an organic, responsive, economically viable, multi- source, long endurance, near real-time reconnaissance capability to collect, process and report intelligence throughout the level of conflict. Additionally, commanders need ability to obtain data from anywhere within enemy territory, day and night (24x7), regardless of weather. The answer lies in the use of UAVs, with their inherent characteristics to provide the flexibility to operate in the extended battle space, thereby enabling the ground forces to see first, understand first, act first and finish decisively. UAVs are remotely piloted or self piloted aircraft that can carry cameras, sensors, communication equipment or other payloads. They have been used in the reconnaissance and intelligence gathering role from 1950s; and more challenging roles are envisaged including combat missions. Unmanned vehicles are not impeded by restraints imposed on manned systems, where both the aircraft and crew could be lost. In fact, they are increasingly being employed for missions that were hitherto the domain of manned aircraft. The UAVs today are also providing exclusive capability to forces engaged in sub-conventional operations, especially in the global war on terrorism - in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
