All true. The office in charge of this type of stuff is PMA-251 at NAVAIR here in NAS Patuxent River.
I worked closely with them for my Unmanned Systems launch and recovery systems at sea.
Part of my UAS portfolio was the Global Hawk. We were doing maritme demonstrations and experimentation's with two GH at Pax River.
The recovery team would call me when GH was 15 minutes out for landing and I'd drive over to the LSO shack on base to watch them land, all automated. Hit the same spot with a CEP of a few feet.
