Shrike*
Abstract
* Formerly Stealthy, Persistent, Perch and Stare (SP2S). (U) The goal of the Shrike program is to develop a new generation of perch-and-stare micro air vehicles based on the Wasp platform. Shrike will be capable of: 1) vertical launch, 2) forward flight to a target, 3) transition from forward flight to vertical landing at the target site, 5) secure, stable attachment to its “perch,” 6) sustained perch-and-stare missions, to include data collection, and 7) re-launch from the perch and fly home. During perch-and-stare, Shrike will perform surveillance and transmit intelligence via data link to its home base. Anticipated Service users include the Army, Marines and Special Forces.
