Naval Uninhabited Combat Air Vehicles; A Strategy-to-Task Approach to System Requirements.
Abstract
This report describes some of the initial work on UCAVs done within the Naval Air Warfare Center. They start with a summary of some initial investigations into UCAV weapons systems, and follow with a report on a Strategy to Task analysis conducted to understand how a UCAV might expand the current capabilities of the Navy warfighting structure, and the system requirements necessary to provide those capabilities. The Strategy to task approach is a top down analysis which starts with the overall National military strategy and how the U.S. Navy plans to meet its responsibilities. From there, the study focuses on current and future Navy missions and the force structure necessary for meeting those responsibilities. This information is used to derive the warfighting capabilities necessary to fulfill its mission, and finally these warfighting capabilities are examined to understand the system requirements that enable a Naval UCAV to achieve the necessary warfighting capabilities.
