While this won't be the first unmanned aircraft to operate from a carrier, this one is starting to get pretty big, and will be coming aboard with a lot more kinetic energy that many previous UAVs. It should be exciting since it will be autonomous. The good news is that ground trials must have shown pretty stable behavior to make the team feel ready to hoist it on-board ship.
