The future of unmanned aircraft is a widely discussed topic around today's Air Force. Sean "Skipper" Moulton will delve into unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from a warfighter's perspective during his presentation "Challenges of the Next Generation Unmanned Aircraft System" on Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.
Throughout his career, Moulton served as a command pilot with more than 3,900 flying hours in multiple aircraft, including combat and combat support time in Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF).
In 2002, he was assigned to Beale Air Force Base in California and qualified in the RQ-4 Global Hawk. Three years later he was placed in charge of the Air Force RQ-4 Global Hawk and U-2 Dragon Lady high-altitude operational testing for intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance.
Moulton retired from the Air Force in 2007 and currently works for Booz Allen Hamilton for the USAF Simulation Analysis Facility as lead integrator for Unmanned Aircraft System integration in the National Airspace System.
During his lecture, Moulton will explore some of the major challenges to development of the next generation of Unmanned Aircraft System and will talk about these challenges from an operator's and warfighter's perspective based on both the successes and failures of current weapons systems. -- www.nationalmuseum.af.mil
