Unmanned Combat Air System CV-Demo (UCAS-D)

Abstract

The Navy Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS), designed for autonomous launch and recovery as well as operations in the Carrier Control Area, is comprised of an Air Vehicle Segment, a Mission Control Segment (MCS) and a government led Aircraft Carrier Integration Segment. The scope of the Navy UCAS effort includes design, development, integration, and validation of an unmanned, Low Observable (LO) planform Air Vehicle Segment and MCS in the land-based and shipboard environments. Evaluations will be conducted to investigate MCS interfaces with shipboard systems such as Primary Flight Control displays, Landing Safety Officer (LSO) displays, and Carrier Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC) stations.
