LOCUST

Abstract

LOCUST will provide ISR and precision loitering munitions capable of being launched from air, surface, ground, and sub-surface platforms to conduct both singular and swarm operations across battlespace in conjunction with Joint and manned operations. It will demonstrate multi-domain launch and strike operations, heterogeneous air platform payloads, unmanned from unmanned operations, distributed control of the strike mission, and refined cost elements for critical technologies that have supply chain assurance addressed. This effort is not a new start continuing efforts from the LOCUST Innovative Naval Prototype (INP) under the Office of Naval Research (ONR). LOCUST is transitioning to a program office to support combatant commander requirements, PE 0604230N, PU 1130 Expeditionary Loitering Munitions Capability Development (GOALKEEPER) under Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA)
