"The battle fleet must have eyes"
Article Abstract:
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can dramaticaly improve the capability of a lean battle fleet as force multipliers. However, UAVs should have the capability to take off and land vertically on surface combatants while carrying a wide range of payloads. UAVs are seen increasingly as integral part of naval operations, providing surface combatants wih a real-time ability to see over the horizon. UAVS can also provide target selection, spotting and damage assessments in battle operations.
