Research on Potential Unmanned Aerial Systems CONOPS for USN and USCG Ships

Abstract

The use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) aboard United States Navy (USN) and United States Coast Guard (USCG) vessels is currently limited due to several factors including cost, capability, and policy and regulation. The primary goal of this analysis is to examine how Group 1-3 UAS impacts a surface ship's performance during intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), search and rescue (SAR), and logistics missions and to consider what performance parameters of small UAS systems may be most meaningful to performing those missions.
