UCAVs offer fast track to stealth, long-range and carrier operations

Article Abstract:

The U.S. Air Force has established an attack squadron equipped with unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) on November 9, 2006, while the U.K. continues to support the common standards and technology. Besides, UCAVs are incorporated into the simulations and wargames, which have already shown the advantages of stealth, long-range carrier operations, and offer advanced capability at bargain prices as compared to manned systems.

Endurance above all for UAVs

Article Abstract:

Long endurance with more reliable systems are key for operators of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to achieve strong surveillance. Endurance has operational advantages for the UAV where accident rates and maintenance costs are influenced more by the number of flight cycles than by hours, so a long-endurance UAV would be more reliable.
