This study focuses on the development of aerial refueling methods and procedures for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The author begins this work by stating the need for UAVs, lists some assumptions, and then gives a brief background on UAVs. The author then begins a thorough discussion of the three current Air Force UAV Systems (Predator, DarkStar, and Global Hawk) followed by some proposed methods and procedures for rendezvous and aerial refueling of these UAV platforms. The author rounds out his discussion by comparing and analyzing both the current UAV systems and the methods of air refueling. After proposing the UAV system best suited for air refueling, the most effective type of rendezvous for this UAV system, and the best method for controlling the UAV during the air refueling, the author concludes with a brief review of the implications for the Air Force and airpower enthusiasts.
