U.S. Navy Requires 1,000 Nautical Mile Combat Radius for Future Carrier-Based Tactical Drone Fleet
The U.S. Navy has issued a Request for Information (RFI) through NAVAIR seeking carrier-based tactical drones capable of operating at least 1,000 nautical miles from a carrier without aerial refueling. The RFI outlines eight mission categories — including surface warfare, strike, ASW, and electronic warfare — and reflects the Navy's goal of having unmanned systems comprise more than 60% of future carrier air wings.
