Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV)
Abstract
This program element (PE) evaluates unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) prototype systems that provide increased flight and/or mission duration for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and communications capabilities. These systems include the aerial platform integrated with existing and/or developmental payloads. Project LE4 is developing the Long Endurance Multi-intelligence Vehicle (LEMV), which is a hybrid airship prototype integrated with existing and developmental ISR and communications payloads to improve persistent surveillance and assured communications capabilities. Hybrid airship platform endurance is dependent on weather conditions and payload weight, but the LEMV prototype system is expected to increase endurance to 21 days on average assuming 20 knot winds. The LEMV was funded in PE 0603308A Project 978 in FY10.
