000010656 520__ $$aThe Royal Navy's Future Maritime Aviation Force (FMAF) programme calls for widespread fielding of Uncrewed Air Systems across the surface fleet, with a specific focus on future carrier aviation. Leveraging the investment in crewed aircraft and the carriers themselves, FMAF seeks to achieve mass, tempo and risk reduction by teaming crewed assets with large numbers of uncrewed systems. The Vampire project and early derisking work with the Banshee Jet 80+ are at the vanguard of this programme, with a likely future focus on development and prototype deployment of the air systems, software and network to achieve the vision. This paper explores a potential roadmap, the likely features of the mission systems architecture, the implications for ship integration and some of the key risks. Noting the desire for widespread deployment across platforms, the paper will conclude with ideas for achieving a modular, podded and integrated UAS solution.
