32km distance is non line of sight so the missile can't be fire and forget ( or lock on before launch)
İ wonder how guidance system of UMTAS-GM works? Operator controls the flight via Datalink?
On the other hand how could a person identify or detect a moving target from 30-50km?

For TB-3 Why TEI PD-170 why not PD-180 ST which is lighter and more powerful?
Edit: why not PD -222ST which weights as same as PD-170 /180ST?
EDIT 2:
At 30k altitude, PD-170 generates more power then PD-180/222 so it must be the reason.
As you can see currently there is no...

Wait! For carriers they could use micro Turboprop instead of piston driven engine.
Piston Driven TD-170 weights 170kg gives 170hp( at 20k altitude. At 30k altitude gives 130hp)
Turboprop weights 120kg gives 200hp even at high...
I meant for naval use. For launch from AC. Let's solve the problem which doesn't exist:)
Along with the propeller one or two microturbunes could increase take off speed. Kinda additional JATO (Jet assisted take off) When stalling UAV uses just propeller.
Launching UAV
I think take off and landing of piston engine powered aircrafts ( also TB-2/3 have long wings for low stalling speed) immensely bounded to weather conditions, wind speed thus Naval Operational use of TB-3 could be limited.
However we don't know the limitations could effect on...
