It is interesting to note that the JMSDF was more succesfull than the USN in operating DASH, of the 17 drones bought from Gyrodine only 3 were lost.
Everything I've heard is that the issues the USN has were related to the nuclear control links on USN DASHes - a feature that was not present on the JMSDF units.

You may be right, but most problems with DASH arose from the fact that the drone's operator did not see the drone, and had no real-time feedback as to the drone's position or aspect. This resulted in the fame incident of a DASH drone coming to land upside down, with the obvious results.

Yeah that didn't help either.

By the way, did you get my PM, and if so, can I count on a positive response by the deadline?
