U.S. Army, Air Force clash over control of drones
The U.S. Army looks set to clash with the Air Force over the control of high-flying UAVs after Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley asked the Defense Department to tap the Air Force as its "executive agent" for medium- and high-altitude UAVs on Mar. 6.
Moseley said that by putting the Air Force in charge it would centralize purchases, standardize operations and control "ballooning" bandwidth needs to prioritize intelligence distribution.
