Rand兰德：2024年有人驾驶和遥控军用飞机的参数飞行成本估算关系报告（英文版）

In the past decade, the services have become more reliant on remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), particularly in the area of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. To inform U.S. Air Force decisionmakers on the cost differences of manned aircraft and RPA, the authors compiled data for 30 different military fixed-wing aircraft—five of which are remotely piloted—and extrapolated the average unit flyaway cost associated with producing the first 100 units of each platform. From these data,
