"A fleet of cheap UAVs (the price will come down over time) armed with the latest munitions provides a unique capability."
I have been working on FCS for three years as one of my projects and a lot has to do with UAVs and UGVs. The size of the UAV needed to deliver munitions of the destructive power of a 16" inch shell will never be cheap. I believe UAV's will be highly effective in the situational awareness and in munitions delivery roles but it is not the end-all.

Sustainable firepower is great. If we have more then two conflicts going on at once requiring it, what is the third option since we have only two BBs? How do we accomplish that third, fourth or, god forbid, an eighth mission? A combination of things I suspect.
Now that would be a good area to explore here as it's a real world possibility and forces people to think outside the box.
