What is the potential and what are the challenges the Navy faces in fielding a UCLASS to the fleet?

J. Randy Forbes, Congressman from Virginia's fourth district, Member of the House Armed Services Committee and Chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee.

While a carrier-based unmanned aerial vehicle is known by many names (J-UCAS, X-47B, UCAS-D, and UCAV, among others), the current program scheduled for initial operating capability in 2020 is known as UCLASS, or the Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike platform. To understand the potential of UCLASS, as well as the challenges this program faces, we must first take a step back and look at the role the nuclear powered aircraft carrier (CVN) and its associated Carrier Air Wing (CVW) will play in tomorrow's naval strike missions....etc.

Good read, enjoy! Smile
