N-UCAS Demo Program Overview

• N-UCAS is a limited suitability demonstration of
  an LO relevant planform operating in the aircraft
  carrier environment. Shipboard demo operations
  will include catapult launches, arrested landings
  and flight in the vicinity of the CV (UCAS-D).
  Air to air refueling will also be demonstrated.
• AV-1 first flight planned for Fall 2009 with CV
  ops in late 2011
• The two UCAS-D prototype vehicles will not
  include any mission systems or sensors
• Navy has not yet determined what the full
  requirements should be for an operational UCAS
  and is conducting an analytical study to inform
  the way ahead
• Power Projection from the Sea Beyond 2024
  (PPftS) is a Capabilities-Based Assessment (CBA)
  that will provide insight to future requirements
  associated with options to preserve Naval
  Aviation force capacity and capabilities as the
  F/A-18E/F and EA-18G begin to reach the end of
  their service life
• This investigation is central to determining
  needs associated with potential future Navy
  Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) options
• The CBA will be completed within 2009 and will
  inform future decisions about fielding a UCAS
  capability

UCAS-D is a Demonstration Program
