As an old time Shadowrun player, the idea of a "UCAS" weapons system warms my heart on many levels! I suspect this chill the spine of every EMCON-conscious Admiral... (aside that UCAV's logic can be duped in ignoring (and not reporting) shadowing missile-toting a/c during the return leg...) UAV can be really great in giving back cruising ships (that is, CGs and DDG) the long-range reconnaissance capability of yore, given by floatplanes until late 1940s, but UCAV from CVN is a big no-no, esp. if guidance of these is from the said CVN. Best regards from Italy, Dott. Piergiorgio. |
