Synopsis: Domenii: Transport: Transport generale: Air transport: Aircraft: Aircraft carrier:

with the exception of some aircraft carriers and 72 submarines that rely on nuclear propulsion. Moving away from that reliance would free the military from fuel shortages

It s based on aircraft carriers which are notoriously challenging to land on. The Navy s own X-47b experimental drone has landed on an aircraft carrier successfully

and autonomously so adding a computer copilot to a naval craft could help there too.

The tests were performed#aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt.##The exercise was operationally simple: the unmanned X-47b took off from the carrier's deck followed by a manned#F/A-18 Hornet.

but successfully integrating both manned and unmanned aircraft into the same flight patterns especially on the confined space of an aircraft carrier is essential for future operations.

Last summer the X-47b#successfully landed on an aircraft carrier#twice. It aborted a#third landing

but it did so to avoid crashing into the aircraft carrier and safely landed on an airstrip elsewhere.)

and taken off from an aircraft carrier. Pilots such as Lieutenant commander David Selew, who have thousands of hours of flying experience,

Or, better yet, how about underwater aircraft carriers? As Peter W. Singer, an expert on drones and warfare, pointed out about recent DARPA initiatives,

f you are looking at other places where you might see aircraft carriers, don look up in the air, look under the water.

Yes, that right underwater aircraft carriers for drones. In yet another experiment, the U s. Naval Research Laboratory showed that it was possible to release a drone from a submerged submarine with the robotic drone shot out of a Tomahawk missile tube.
