The missing infrastructure behind an uncrewed fleet

Is the proposed concentration on uncrewed vessels, aircraft, and vehicles politically short-sighted?

Yes if the support ships, maintenance system, satellites, and resilient communications are not funded at the same time.

An uncrewed force still needs crewed ships to support and maintain its vehicles. Satellite communications and the wider control infrastructure also have to be funded. The comparison with Ukraine stresses its extensive communications support and the largely entrenched character of the land war being discussed. A British maritime operation would present a different operational setting. The criticism is that announcements about vehicles have not been matched by announced investment in the infrastructure needed to use them.
