Shrike
Abstract
The goal of the Shrike program was to develop a new generation of perch-and-stare micro air vehicles based on the Wasp platform which would be capable of: 1) vertical launch, 2) forward flight to a target, 3) transition from forward flight to vertical landing at the target site, 4) secure, stable attachment to its perch, 5) sustained perch-and-stare missions, to include data collection, and 6) re-launch from the perch and fly home. Anticipated Service users include the Army, Marines, and Special Forces.
