Shadow 400 (UAV)There are four LAMPS Helos on the CUVX-HI3 that are responsible for the ships ASW, ASuW, and MCM.While inside the ship the LAMPS rotor blades are folded giving the aircraft the dimensions 15.3 m long x 2.4 mwide x 3.8 m high. Before deployment the LAMPS are fueled and outfitted with weapons on Hanger Deck 1 inthe same pit stop area as the UCAVs and UAVs. LAMPS are launched and recovered on the recovery deck.Figure 61. LAMPS4.6.2 Aircraft ElevatorsThere are three aircraft elevators on CUVX-HI3. Refer to Figure 32 and Section 4.1.5. The technical data forthese elevators is estimated based on current aircraft elevator data supplied by Jered Inc. Sizes and weights arescaled to the dimensions of CUVX-HI3’s elevators. Specifications for the three aircraft elevators and weaponselevators are listed in Table 36.Table 36.
