Applications for Navy Unmanned Aircraft Systems
Alkire, Brien / Kallimani, James G. / Wilson, Peter A. / Moore, Louis R.
In this book, RAND provides an evaluation of the Navy's ongoing and proposed unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) programs and describes the most promising applications of those UASs to the Navy1s operational tasks. The book identifies robust communications as a key enabler for UASs in many operational tasks and recommends steps the Navy can take to ensure these communications are available.
