The Air Force and Army continue to work out the details of how they will coordinate their activities in the acquisition and operation of their respective Predator and Warrior unmanned aerial systems, officials from both services said yesterday.

The two services had set the deadline of May 1 to codify the nature and scope of their cooperation in a memorandum of agreement (MoA). But officials from both services said the issue is still under discussion and the document has not been finalized.

"We are still working on it," Col. John Burke, director of unmanned systems integration in the Army Staff's operations directorate, told reporters on May 4 at the Pentagon. "We still have the mission from our Army chief of staff and the Air Force chief of staff to develop an MOA."
