Currently we can put up around 2000 manned platforms and 100 unmaned platforms.In the future we will have about 1200 manned platforms with the real growth in unmanned platforms. The Army is going to have it own air force (4-5 hundred Warrior UCAV's) with the Air Force comming with several hundred of its own warriors and other UCAV's. The Navy most likely will have several dozen UCAV's (x-47's). We have and are going to have plenty of platforms for JDAM's - what we are lacking is is C4 assets, bandwidth and logistics to keep everything flying.
