I take it this thing is flown by a crew onto the ships from some control station? Where are the crews, onboard ship? I ask because in rough seas it must be interesting as you will I take it be flying a visual approach to a ship while your body is sensing the roll and pitch not of the aircraft, but that of the ship.
if it is auto land I wonder how the system copes with the sudden and variable altitude change as it passes over the end of the ship.
