WEBF - Correct, and the Navy deserves credit for sticking to its guns and retaining deck-handling and integration with the carrier's local air control as key parts of the demonstration. It would have been much easier to demo cat-and-trap with the local airspace cleared and a tug to move the vehicle on deck, but not operationally relevant. UCAS-D should have materially reduced the risk in UCLASS.
