To take off and land there is a human Pilot/Operator using a conventional radio control (see pics below). Only in transit does an autonomous autopilot take over. The problem is that this thing has no detect and avoid capability and so it has to have an airspace reservation to fly about.
You are also going to have to clear all of your expensive proper aircraft off of the deck - can you imagine when this thing hits an £80M+ F35B!!!
