Abstract: Abstract When conducting research for this book, it was an absolute requirement to be meticulous in the removal of bias from any conclusion. To help achieve this, a survey was conducted among military aircrew and officers, MOD engineers and aviation specialists, and civilians, to collect their views on, inter alia, whether UCAS can gain control of the air in future warfare in 2040. The intention was to determine any emerging trends in thought, in particular identifying divergence in interviewee’s views, dependent on their experience and qualifications, both academic and military. The interviews included questions enabling confirmation that the crux of the book warranted investigation. More importantly, the responses to questions, specifically designed to elicit expert views, yielded answers that allowed robust investigation questioning the efficacy of some current fundamental maxims of counter-air warfare.
