Alternative Employment Concepts for Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) FLIR/TV Mission Payload.

Abstract

This study compared the operational potential of the RPV organization in a division that has rear area launch and recovery with that in a division that had independent sections. The study found that rear area launch and recovery could provide significant operational advantages including: a smaller basic load of air vehicles, more expeditious resupply of air vehicles, and reduced vulnerability of the ground systems. Reliable communications are required to make the rear area launch and recovery concept effective. (Author)
