UK RN tests hybrid crewed/uncrewed carrier airwing on HMS Prince of Wales

The Royal Navy is operationally integrating uncrewed Malloy T150B UAVs alongside F-35Bs and helicopters on HMS Prince of Wales, including simultaneous mixed flight-deck operations. This reflects a shift toward a 'hybrid navy' force structure and procedures for scalable carrier strike groups, a notable doctrinal and operational adaptation rather than a routine deployment.
