An experimental investigation was conducted to examine the use of small, expendable, endurance UAVs to enhance the combat effectiveness of Naval Special Warfare Forces (NSW) The experiment involved UAVs, NSW forces, and a red team in a downed-pilot rescue mission. Models were developed to determine optimum flight patterns for all UAVs. Models were also developed and utilized to determine experimental variables and measures of effectiveness. Simulation of the exercise was conducted to determine adequacy of the experiment plan.
