From an economic perspective I think this is a battle that military aviation cannot win. Its not just about pilots...as rewards (not just financial) of an easy civilian life grow, it becomes ever harder to recruit for risks and hardships of military life. Even the Romans has problems with this and many see it as one of the deciding factors in the decline of their empire. Looking specifically at pilots, as I understand it, the commercial market for "drivers, airframe" is looking ever more healthy and long term the military will be hard-pressed to keep up.
I'm not actually sure a strategic plan is needed anyway. In thirty years time the vast majority of airborne weapons platforms won't have a pilot in them, so just keep sticking plasters on the problem until technology removes it.
