Synopsis

This research paper covers several aspects of the current and future tanker acquisition. Not only does it research capabilities related tanker acquisition but it also explores the proper capabilities required of future tanker assets. The research progresses from a historical perspective to the current available options for the next generation tanker. From there data is used to show possible capabilities and missions appropriate for aerial refueling assets. Topics discussed are dual role tanker/airlift possibilities, spiral development of "SMART" tanker capabilities, and possible associated tanker platform missions. Final recommendations are given for future tanker platform acquisition and capabilities it should have for tomorrow's wartime scenario's.
