The Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) is examining its existing force structure, what is being proposed over the next thirty years, and how it might go about the transition to the future force. The RAN’s Navy Strategic Policy and Futures Branch in Navy Headquarters is conducting a number of Future Fleet Studies, which will form the basis for future concept development across a number of areas. These Future Fleet Studies form part of a wider initiative called Navy 2030 which is intended to inform the RAN of the strategic, military, economic, technological and personnel developments that will shape it to 2030. This paper is Future Fleet Study No. 4 and outlines the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to date and considerations for their possible future employment by the RAN. This study is a joint product from the Directorate of Navy Strategy and Futures and the RAN Sea Power Centre as part of the NAVY 2030 initiative.
