This research, sponsored by AMC/AA9, utlized a four round Policy Delphi Study to determine the potential utility, benefits, drawbacks and pitfalls of utilizing MQ-9 RPA to perform the airdrop mission. Literature concerning the MQ09, RPAs, Joint Precision Aerial Delivery Systems, repurposing and rebranding, and Delphi STudies was reviewed. The panel's responses indicate that MQ-9 RPA capcabilities should be developed both to support manned airdrop and to conduct small, especially persistent, resupply missions autonomously. RPA airdrop will greatly increase UCCs' freedom ofa ction in elevated or denied threat areas, as well as NBCR environments by removing the risk of loss of manned aircraft or harm to crews.
