DEALRS
Abstract
Adversary Anti-Access and Area Denial (A2/AD) capabilities continue to improve but remain focused on targeting specific US and joint force capabilities. The Deployment and Employment of Autonomous Long Range Systems (DEALRS) project will develop technologies that sidestep, operate below the threshold, or deplete adversary A2/AD capabilities. DEALRS will specifically develop technologies to enable low-cost unmanned systems that can maneuver across theater-level ranges to penetrate, operate within, and launch strikes from within adversary A2/AD system coverage. This project will develop technologies to increase the range and endurance of autonomous systems while maintaining tactically relevant speeds, loiter times, and signatures with low cost. It will also address technologies that enable the marsupial launch of terminal engagement autonomous unmanned systems across all domains from larger and/or longer-range host systems that bring them to the launch area and the associated technologies needed to ensure roboticized and autonomous startup and launch of the marsupial systems without human intervention. The Activity identified in Project Unit 3462 DEALRS specifically addresses Applied Research in support of the INP effort.
