This reports looks at some of the UAV options and sensors which might be of interest in conducting Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) operations or Mine Counter Measures (MCM), and issues governing their use on small naval platforms. Deployment and recovery of UAVs plus the integration of vehicle logistical support and sensor data analysis are more problematic in littoral warfare operations. Some of the traditional airborne electro-optic and electro-magnetic sensors are now capable of being miniaturised to sizes and payloads within UAV limits, but the number and type of sensors chosen for REA can greatly influence the design and overall size of a UAV.
