The use of unmanned systems in the military has been growing. Although the technologies and associated capabilities of unmanned autonomous systems (UAS) continue to progress rapidly, comparatively little has been considered about how these systems will impact a future operating environment. This thesis used scenario planning, specifically a slice-of- time scenario planning, to explore the future operating environment and examined integrating UAS into the current manned environment. This thesis highlighted a few technologies which will shape the future of unmanned systems. The thesis also explored a case study based on STARFISH Project by the Acoustic Research Laboratory (ARL), a laboratory within the Tropical Marine Science Institute (TMSI) of the National University of Singapore (NUS), and derived a proposed roadmap for integrating unmanned systems into the manned environment.
