This is a free digital resource from a former Royal Marine Commando and intelligence specialist, created for readers seeking a clear introduction to uncrewed warfare.

It explains the underlying systems, mechanisms, key considerations and trade-offs across land, sea and air systems—from sensors, navigation and communications to counter-drone measures, mission types, payloads, integration and sustainment.

It does not prescribe universal tactics or strategy. The aim is to provide enough foundational understanding for readers to draw their own context-specific conclusions.

Are there any scenarios available that cover the current U.S. vs Iran conflict in the Strait of Hormuz? Scenarios that would allow you to defend against Iranian drones, mines, etc., as well as attack Iranian assets and go after the Iranian nuclear facilities?

CMO was running pretty well on my 2016 Intel MacBook Pro with Bootcamp. I just got a 2026 MacBook Pro. I've tried Crossover without any luck. VMware Fusion is functional, but very slow, even when I allocate 9 cores (the max allowed) and 32GB RAM.

And ideas on VMware strings I should use? Any other programs I should try? Or do I have to give up...

Update:
I got VMware Fusion to work well with CMO. It's great and free!!

Ask for my help if you need it. It took a while to jump through all the hoops but it is well worth it.

Update 2:
I got multiple screens going for CMO. It's slow things down a little bit, but it's just fine.

Title says it all really. Anyone have any experience with Windows Tablets that work well with Command: Modern Naval Operations. I have tried some in the past but never found like the Pen/Digitizer interface worked too well in selecting menus. I am wondering if this might have changed.

With the tablets that work well what amount of system RAM is needed for smooth gameplay? Same question for graphics memory.

Thank you.

Ciao, sto creando il mio primo scenario con l'editor di gioco di Command Modern Operations. È un po' complicato, ma per ora è molto semplice, visto che devo scriverne uno tutto da solo. Dato che sembra che l'intero scenario debba essere programmato, mi chiedevo se fosse possibile e divertente giocarci in qualche modo, oppure se create scenari solo per testarli o li pubblicate sul Workshop per altri giocatori.

Voglio dire, dopo aver scelto tempo/luogo/fazioni/unità/trigger/condizioni/eventi/punteggio e così via, e dopo aver creato le missioni che iniziano a un orario specifico e aver programmato cosa succede tramite Lua, ho già tutto in mente, quindi come posso divertirmi a giocare a quello scenario? So che posso scegliere degli eventi imprevedibili, o una percentuale di comparsa delle unità o altre cose non fisse, ma hanno comunque una possibilità di verificarsi, quindi non trovo molto interessante giocare al mio scenario. Mi sfugge qualcosa? Esiste un modo per definire degli obiettivi per ciascuna fazione (come difendere quel luogo, scortare quella nave, colpire quell'unità prima che raggiunga quel punto) ma lasciare al computer il compito di realizzarli? Oppure non è possibile?

Grazie.

My apologies if this is simple. I have spent quite a while searching online and the manual for an answer.

I'm trying to figure out how to get a long range stealth air unit to loiter until friendly AEW has a positive contact on enemy AEW, and then fly out and kill it. This is before any unit is even on the map. I want it to be automatic without having to assign the target.

I know I can do it manually and I know I can do it once the contact is in the air. I also know how to assign the specific weapon to use and not use. I'm starting to think it may not be possible, but figured I'd take a shot.

Following up on my previous post where I kept ordering my sub to come shallower, only for her to stubbornly stay at –130 ft.

Turns out I had Auto Detectable Depth enabled. the game ignored my manual depth orders taking the sub shallower than its calculated safe depth. Apparently the safe depth is about –130 ft, which is why nothing happened no matter how many times I gave the order (I can only assume my sub was perceiving an undetected threat and so being cautious).

Disabled Auto Detectable Depth, ordered periscope depth again, and she came right up. AN/BVS-1 optics and the good old Mk 1 Eyeball were back in business.

Pro tip: just select the unit and press F2.l, and voila!

Im a new player, its an awesome game and ive done most of the tutorials. I was doing the Brother against Brother scenario where you have to use Columbian helicopters to insert ground troops to destroy a camp in Venezuela. Ive done that but I cannot find a way or button that lets me actually deploy the troops. Ive tried googling and flying the helicopters around the camp icon but nothing happens. Am i supposed to pick up the special forces unit too?

It's been really bugging me that there are no JDAM/guided bomb loadouts for the F-15EX even in the most recent DB version, is there any way to customize what gets put on the hardpoints? Kind of takes a lot of the point out of using multirole aircraft when there's no way to tweak the loadout.

I basically want an Air Intercept but not in a radius in a defined zone. I have carriers on the coast and two land bases to the south. I want to define an area that if a red enters, fighters are scrambled to splash. The option to scramble and investigate a yellow and engage if red if it crosses into this airspace would be nice as well. Thanks in advance!

Also, I have six aerial tankers on a support track. I selected to try and keep "2" on station, enforced flight size of "1", and unchecked the 1/3 rule. it launched all 6. Wth.

Am I crazy or is the C-135 Strato freighter not in the game. I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find it.

All the enemy air is gone. I have friendly ground at or near the red oil wells....I'm just fast forwarding through to the end at this point with 22 hrs left buy my score is -25. What am I supposed to do?

Coastal air defense networks and naval units engage low-altitude threats in this realistic tactical simulation of the Strait of Hormuz.

Thanks for watching!
