Since Operations Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Enduring Freedom (OEF) began, the role of aerial refueling support for the warfighter has gained considerable attention. Future concepts for an advanced tanker aircraft such as unmanned aerial refueling, and automated aerial refueling will bring new ideas to help streamline support to the warfighter and increase safety for aircrews. With the advent of the new KC-X, the recapitalization of the Air Force tanker fleet is a top priority. In this paper the author will examine the Air Force's air refueling capability and how new designs will support tomorrow's fight.
