The Integration of the Naval Unmanned Combat Aerial System (N-UCAS) into the Future Naval Air Wing

This MBA Project investigates the use of unmanned vehicles, specifically the
Navy-Unmanned Combat Air System (N-UCAS), which can be employed and deployed
in novel ways to gain access in the access denied surface domain due to the
proliferation of anti-ship ballistic missiles. The capabilities of N-UCAS,
coupled with a new employment/deployment model, have the potential to allow
the Navy to maintain the forecasted capacity of the future power projection
fleet while reducing the number of carriers. The savings from the reduction
in the carrier fleet could allow smaller crafts, such as the Joint High Speed
Vessel (HSV) and the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), to be procured in larger
numbers to aid in the shortfalls that the current Naval Force has in Maritime
Security and Cooperative Engagement (MSCE) capacity.
