This paper highlights areas of UAV testing that have proven problematic from DOT&E's perspective in past UAV operational tests. Armed with this knowledge, DOT&E action officers should be better able to positively influence the scope and conduct of future UAV operational testing. Separate chapters focus on lessons learned during each stage of UAV operational testing to include requirements development, design of the operational test, test execution, and methodologies used to assess the mission effectiveness of UAVs. Two appendices at the end of the paper describe operational testing on UAVs conducted since 1986. UAV systems included in this review include Aquila, Pioneer, Hunter, Shadow, Outrider, Fire Scout, Predator, and Global Hawk.
