An air unit (UAV) consists of 4 aircraft plus one Launch unit, One recovery gantry, starting motor, etc. The cost in 2006 was about 3.2M USD for the complete unit. The gantry is fitted with a GPS homing unit that guides the aircraft in to be wing hooked by a special shock absorbing cable. Ideal for P31 or similar ships. Range is 100km and endurance up to 20 hours.
The ideal scenario would be 4 Uav's plus two Launch and Recovery systems to allow for shore side training.
