On November 12, South Korea made history. On a bright fall day in the Sea of Japan, a Mojave unmanned drone took off from the South Korean navy warship ROKS Dokdo. The ship—resembling an aircraft carrier with an island, flight deck, and a throng of observers watching from the sidelines—launched the Mojave into the sky. The drone circled around, performed two simulated landings, and touched down on land. No one would have guessed the actual human pilot was hundreds of miles away. On shore.
With the might of drone technology, South Korea officially entered the elite club of nations with the means to launch aircraft from ships.
Mojave's feat is also proof that the drone revolution is ready to fix two of the aircraft carrier's most vexing problems: a shortage of planes and a shortage of carriers. Cheap, effective, and far faster to build than manned aircraft, drones are set to take over carrier flight decks around the world. Meanwhile, their ability to operate from ships not designed for fixed-wing planes will allow more navies worldwide to join the ranks of carrier-operating nations. In addition to South Korea, countries such as Turkey, Spain, Australia, Japan, and Thailand could all benefit from the new generation of short takeoff and landing drones. |
