'UCLASS' with a soft C would be pronounced 'useless'.....

Drone acronymish has now extended from TLAs to SLAs, it seems...

When the 'lightly contested environment' turns out to be not that lightly contested, the chances of such an expensive drone surviving more than one mission would be somewhat slim, I would guess.

The idea of armed drones wandering about the world anywhere within a 1200nm radius of action from a USN carrier is 'interesting'....
