| For Today, most UAV's are operated off of helicopter pads, or for hte larger UCAV's are designed to be operated off of a carrier. This makes sense, since the field is advancing so rapidly any specific design for handling them would likely be obsolete before it was fielded.
But in the future, UAV's, UCAV's and likely hybrids between UAV's and single use missiles are likely to become common to nearly every class of combatent. When that occurs, what likely changes may there be to improve the handling, repair and of course to allow the largest number of Unmanned vehicles to be stored and used by a ship, without impacting too much on other ship functions? |
