The electronics footprint on unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) continues to shrink. These reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements are driving radio frequency (RF) and microwave designers to come up with innovative ways to deliver the reduced SWaP while increasing performance and enhancing the platform's capability.

My previous article covered what sits on top of the kill chain from a strategic perspective. Now, it's time to integrate the other models: RMAs (revolutions in military affairs), warfare domains (land, sea, air, space, cyberspace, electromagnetic (EM) spectrum), strategic offsets, generations of warfare (1GW through 8GW), and the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act).
