诺思罗普·格鲁曼公司正在研制一种用于舰载行动的新型无人驾驶货物再补给飞机。这种飞机被称作“模块化垂直起降无人机”(MUVR)。尽管美国军方还未就其性能发布正式的要求,但该公司正在自己出资研发这种飞机。诺思罗普·格鲁曼公司副总裁兼航空航天系统部高级计划和技术总经理吉恩·弗雷泽说,虽然还未提出正式要求,但美国始终需要将货物从舰上运到岸上的能力,而这种快速安全运货的能力是极其重要的。弗雷泽说,诺思罗普·格鲁曼公司还考虑将其不但用于货物再补给,而且还用于伤员撤运的可能性。使用无人机运输乘客对世界各国的军方来说是一个敏感的政策问题。然而,弗雷泽说,到了飞机准备用于军事行动的时候,用无人机 Northrop Grumman is developing a new type of unmanned cargo refill aircraft for carrier-based operations. This aircraft is called the Modular VTOL UAV (MUVR). Although the U.S. military has not formally announced its performance requirements, the company is funding the development of such an aircraft on its own. Jean Fraser, Northrop Grumman vice president and senior program and technology general manager for the Aerospace Systems Division, said although the formal request has not yet been made, the United States has always had to ship the cargo from shore to shore Ability, and this fast and safe delivery ability is extremely important. Fraser said Northrop Grumman also considered it not only for re-supply of goods, but also for the possibility of evacuation of the wounded. The use of drones to transport passengers is a sensitive policy issue for the military in countries around the world. However, Fraser said UAVs are used by the time the aircraft is ready for military operations
