US KC-135 Tankers Being Eyed For Drone Launcher Role

Drones launched from KC-135 tankers could be used in a multitude of ways, including as decoys and remote sensors.

The U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command is still exploring a concept that could see KC-135 aerial refueling tankers gain the ability to launch up to 100 commercial-of-the-shelf drones. The command's top officer says that drones launched by KC-135 motherships could act as decoys and remote sensors, help forces navigate to their destinations, scout out new places to land, aid in the rescue of downed pilots, and more.
