to the downwind and so let them have the benefits of the uav. there is a precedent for this. in southeast asia, nado, david ignatius mentioned one with turkey, in some cases the buzz word for these operations are fee-for-service arrangements. but if there's any questions we can go into some of these precedents. what are the at vintages of the services will it allows us to share the benefits of them more widely. it makes it unnecessary for us to dumb down the uav systems we might want to use with our partners. it might make them more affordable depending on the financing arrangements. it avoids the slippery slope where we start to undo the main tenets of our missile nonproliferation policy and the next stop on the slippery slope being to share space launch vehicles are interchangeable with ballistic missiles it gives us the efficiency of having a central operator. we've heard about the problems with the army versus the air force on operational concept some it's worse when you're trying and to deal with international partners. by having a central

what the advantages of uav services? it allows us to share the benefits of uav's more widely. it makes it unnecessary for us to dumb down the ua the systems that we might want to use with our partners. it might make them more affordable, depending on the financing arrangements. it avoids a slippery slope where you start to undo the main tenets of our missile nonproliferation policies, and the net stop being to share space-launch vehicles, which i think most of you know are interchangeable with ballistic missiles. have to assess the efficiency of having a central operator -- if gives us the efficiency of having a central operator. we've heard the problems of the army versus the air force on operational concepts. it is worse when you're trying to deal with international partners. it would allow, by having a central operator, for aerospace integration, which we heard about this morning. better interoperability, better band with use. band with use.

i am a big believer in uavs and that they will be a big part of the future of air power. a lot of time debates of my peers constantly bring up the fact that uavs are desensitizing compiler further pushing up buttons and killing people far far away. would you say to that? >> i'll take it very simply operate -- i cut my teeth on predators have yet to in 2002. so first of all, when i go and interact with the second went up there quite a bit, that's wearing stationed right now. if you go up there and you look at what they have, they are very much in breach that they're going into combat. they go through restricted area. they go through combat zones. it's as if were going to a combat. you are put into what we call the more your east coast, the warrior mentality before you ever stop to a ground control station. it's very much emphasized every day that you are there, you're executing a mission to potentially save lives and you're executing a critical mission. so was impressively done. if you see they are given the warrior he sows. it is kind of funny, colonel thurston who is goi

uav's give us great effort to do that and has full motion video attached to it and weapons systems and the ability for precise fires against very easily identifiable targets in an environment where civilian casualties were our number one concern. we did not want to cause civilian casualties so with a uav overhead, that good imagery overhead downlinked to the proper decision makers we knew the weapons systems we wanted were implied at the targets we wanted when there was no threat to civilians being on the ground, so the uav reliability was good as far as any other aircraft, i would say 80, 90% liability on a daily basis and never caused us to have operational problems. corruption, you know, corruption, you have clearly identified the issue. corruption is pervasive. it's part of the culture there. it's something you have to work around with, and hopefully by through example and by targeting and helping the people to develop a rule of law and a system of courts that can take that on, that they will change. my personal opinion, that's going to take some time. you've got to really change s

uavs are the most efficient way of delivering such weapons, at least a factor of 10 more lethal than other alternatives. so as with space launch vehicles, the united states on to provide services, share the benefits with other countries, that not provide the hardware. >> i apologize running over a little bit, but i would like to think our three panelists for some very thought-provoking and insightful ideas and proposals and some innovative proposals that were provided by richard. so with that i'd like to thank all three of them.

we talked a lot about the future use of uav's. i would be interested in your thoughts about two issues. are we more concerned with the technologies that our adversaries would use to counter morese of uav's or are we concerned with an adversary thoseing uav's and using capabilities against us. >> we are an information base military. we are dependent on precision. we are dependent on this god's eye knowledge. we have traded mass in for these other attributes. i would be more worried about somebody interfering with our ability to great precision than developing theirs. they would be a less adept at optimizing them. >> i would agree with the remarks of general hayden. we need to be concern for both. at some point in the future, because of the rapid distribution of technology is -- technologies as a result of globalization, there will be a point when our adversaries to acquire the capability, not as fast as we have come up in terms of being able to achieve the same level of precision. you have to be concerned about the technology and g
