As for what constitutes "autonomy" in UA, the directors of the Service research laboratories have adopted
an onion-like layered series of capabilities to define this measure of UA sophistication. These definitions
run the span from teleoperated and preprogrammed flight by single aircraft to self-actualizing group

4.1 PROCESSOR TECHNOLOGIES
Although today's processors allow UA to fly entire missions with little or no human intervention, if the
ultimate goal is to replace a pilot with a mechanical facsimile of equal or superior thinking speed,
memory capacity, and responses (algorithms) gained from training and experience, then processors of
human-like speed, memory, and situational adaptability are necessary. Human capabilities are generally
agreed to equate to 100 million million-instructions-per-second (MIPS) in speed and 100 million
megabytes (MB) in memory. In the 1980s, AFRL attempted to develop a robotic adjunct to a fighter pilot
under the Pilot's Associate program, but the available processor technology proved insufficient.
Figures 4.1-1 and 4.1-2 illustrate the progress in processor technology toward human levels of
performance that has occurred and that are likely to be seen in the coming 25 years. Both show that
today's supercomputers' are within a factor of 10 of achieving human equivalence in speed and capacity
and could achieve human parity by the 2015 timeframe. The cost of a supercomputer is however
uncompetitive with that of a trained human, but by 2030 the cost of a 100 million MIP processor should
approach $10,000. As for inculcating a fighter pilot's training and experience into a robot brain, the
equivalent of Top Gun school for tomorrow's J-UCAS will consist of a post-flight download in seconds.
Today's silicon-based semiconductor processors will be limited to features about 0.1 micron in size, the
so-called "point one limit," by current manufacturing techniques based on ultraviolet lithography. Once
the limits of silicon semiconductors are reached, presumably in the 2015-2020 period, what are the
alternatives for developing more advanced processors? Just as computers have evolved from using
vacuum tubes to transistors to integrated circuits of semiconductors over the past 60 years, future ones
may progressively use optical, biochemical, quantum interference switching (QIS), and molecular
("moletronics") processors, or some combination of them, to achieve ever faster speeds and larger
memories. QIS offers a thousandfold increase in speed and moletronics a potential billionfold increase

over present computers. Ultimately, quantum computing may replace traditional computing based on
ones and zeros with using nuclear magnetic resonance to encode the spin of atoms.

Recommended Investment Strategy: Rely on commercial markets (personal and commercial
computers) to drive processor technology. Focus DoD research on radiation–tolerant integrated circuit
components and algorithms.
