I have been thinking of another possible role for our next generation AORs. Everyone in the know down here seems to feel the next generation AOR will be just that, an AOR with very little JSS in the equation. My idea is what if we make the replacements for the Protectuer class a UAV/UUV platform as well. While I am not looking the UCAVs that may require a flight deck, we could obtain types that are launched via rotors or by launcher. UUVs could be deployed over the side via crane or something along the lines of a method similiar to how we deploy our towed array sonars and torpedo decoys. UAV missions would depend on the type by most likely surveillance and cargo transport. UUV roles would also include surveillance and ASW.
Ok go ahead, shoot it down.
