Hybrid Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL)/Fixed Wing Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) (Navy/USMC)

Abstract

This project comparatively tests hybrid VTOL/Fixed Wing UAS to enable increased mission endurance/range, deployment from small boats and vehicles, and significant reduction in ground support footprint and manpower. If successful, this technology will transition to the Navy's Battlespace Awareness and Information Operations Program Office for follow-on testing and demonstrations to inform future procurement decisions. Performance testing and demonstrations completed in FY 2022. This project continues in FY 2023 with FY 2022 funding. Final test and closeout reports completed in 1Q FY 2023.
