In addition to drone carriers for unmanned aerial Vehicles, there are also others for unmanned underwater vehicles and unmanned surface vehicles.
As a naval vessel, a drone carrier is capable of launching and picking up combat drones without the need for large and expensive aircraft carriers . For example, in the United Kingdom, a UXV Combatant for UCAV has been proposed for the Royal Navy.[1]
