Metrics and methodologies used to measure the timeliness of UAV imagery is an area that should be addressed during the requirements process. The major area of discussion here revolves around the scope of the timeliness issue. In the eyes of the TUAV program manager, timeliness could be been measured from the time a task is received at the Ground Control Station (GCS) until the operator sends out a report related to that task. In this case, systems affecting timeliness are limited to those under the purview of the UAV program manager.
