nice toy isn't it ?

Neat.

Great recce and spying potential.

Future payload might be interesting - a UUV ?

UUV in UAV ?

This UAV could be very interesting to prepare the seals work with fresh data, or to confirm the position of a moving target before a TLAM strike.
great potential.
Maybe soon they could send it from torpedo tubes ... ?

I know french actually develop SAM launched from torpedo tubes, but it is not yet operationnal and this should take long times of development.

Seems off the wall

But as the carrying capacity of the UAV is developed you could drop a light UUV
near the target - it would be light beacause it would require minimum propulsion/fuel/battery.

The UUV could be programmed to surface and radio(etc) back to the monitoring platform - UAV/aircraft/mini-sub etc.

The design speci. for the UUV may include many 'mission objectives' other than sonar.

UUV or buoys ... why not !
but you will need a buoy station on the sub

anyway it could be a nice way to release a pattern of buoy in total safety for crew : if a SAM destroy the UAV, you don't lost the pilot of the aircraft.
But at this time, an UUV will be to much heavy for an UAV
