Weapons Capability Modifications UAV

Abstract

The Extended Range Multi-Purpose (ERMP) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) includes and addresses the full scale development and integration of a weapon system capability. These modifications include the refinement of requirements, the selection of the weapons matched to the aircraft capabilities, hardware and software design, development, and integration with the system. This will include requisite airframe, mission management software and weapon compatibility modifications necessary to carry and employ weapons. Tests are required to ensure reliable, safe, accurate, and timely weapons stowage and delivery. Weaponization of ERMP includes the full scale development and integration of a modified HELLFIRE missile into the ERMP UAS. Missile development will include type classification and formal materiel release.
