Then carrier landings will be very problematic as they have to program the vehicle to touch down at a specific altitude above sea level. If the deck is pitching, I suspect they’re going to plant a few of these before they get it right.
All of this is pure speculation based on DesScorp’s post to me. If what he says is correct, then my theory may have merit. (Disclaimer since I don’t actually work on that one and have no inside knowledge.)

The Navy has been using an ACLS system for years. It’s pretty effective, especially during blue water ops on a pitch black night. Calms nerves and reduces bolters. The UCAV will use a similar system.
