Pinto da Costa, R. and Ventura, M. (2024), Conceptual design of a drone carrier, Advances in Maritime Technology and Engineering, Guedes Soares, C. & Santos T.A. (Eds.), Taylor and Francis, London, UK, pp. 31-42.
In this paper, the conceptual design process of a drone carrier warship will be developed, with a multi-role operational concept and requirements comparable to modern European NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) navies. This conceptual design process will include the overview of the state of the art of surface warship preliminary design methodologies as well as of the drone carrier ships themselves, the development of an operational concept for the ship along with the definition of its operational requirements, a system selection process in which the systems that the ship will make use of in order to undertake its wide range of missions will be defined, the development of a ship synthesis model and, finally, the development of two ship concepts for different NATO end-users.
