Because of the variety of RPV types and operational applications a family of DCDRS launch and recovery systems are recommended, to provide capacity and control capability for the following categories of operations: High-rate, high-wing loading; low-rate, low-wing-loading; quick-reaction, very-long-range strike; and fixed base or CONUS type launch.
