\u00bfCu\u00e1les son los costos relativos\u00a0 de los sistemas UAV desechables frente a los reutilizables? Los investigadores de RAND Corporation analizaron\u00a0 la rentabilidad comparativa de las plataformas reutilizables y las\u00a0 desechables para peque\u00f1os veh\u00edculos a\u00e9reos no tripulados.<\/p>\n
RAND Corporation researchers reviewed the comparative cost-effectiveness of reusable and expendable platforms for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The authors specifically analyzed costs to achieve fixed effectiveness. In particular, they examine the life-cycle costs of alternative small UAVs that would operate in defended airspace in support of other systems, such as strike aircraft, and either be expended after their mission or recovered via aircraft or on the ground. The findings show that, in many cases, current technology makes reusable platforms relatively inexpensive. This suggests that small, reusable UAVs may be attractive as decoys, jammers, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
