Project 18

Abstract

Project 18 directly supports the National Defense Strategy's priority for increased lethality by demonstrating an organic counter unmanned aircraft system (UAS) capability for use by small units. This project integrated a novel non-kinetic capability to defeat adversary UAS onto existing operational platforms and experimented with the resulting prototype to inform concepts of operation (CONOPS). Additional details are classified. In FY 2019, the initial prototype completed fabrication and underwent testing and experimentation to characterize combat performance. The prototypes transitioned to USSOCOM for final evaluation and operational use.
