THREECLASSESOFUASFortheJuly2007reporttheGAowasasked“toevaluateDoD’seffortstointegrateUASintoongoingoperationswhileoptimizingtheuseofallDoDISRassets”.Thereport’sauthorscategoriseUASintothreeclasses:manportable,tacticalandtheatre.USforces,andtheirallies,engagedintheGlobalWaronTerrorismaresupportedbyISRUASplatformsthatareoperatedby:

Moreover,“DoD’sapproachtoallocatingandtaskingitsISRassets,includingUAS,hindersitsabilitytooptimizetheuseoftheseassetsbecauseitdoesnotconsiderthecapabilitiesofallavailableISRassets.”
