Summary	NPS and NUS will perform the Development Program as specified herein: Operations utilizing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) must be managed to extract the most propitious use of infrastructure and supporting resources, architectural constraints, and battlefield environments. Often the UAV management optimizes coverage versus data communication, while other times there are operational trade-offs of flying UAV configurations and upcoming missions. There are also newly inserted collection and mission requirements that mandate a considerable planning and scheduling effort. While many of these problems are not new, the anticipated, dramatic increase in autonomous of controlled UAVs exacerbates this architecture and planning problem. Ultimately, the objective is to get the correct information in the right hands in a timely fashion.
