Autonomous Aerial Insertion and Resupply into Dense, Urban, Complex Terrain (AAIRDUCT)
Abstract
Previously funded JCTD. AAIRDUCT supports the National Defense Strategy's focus to sustain Joint Force military advantages in austere locations and the Under Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering's modernization priority for fully networked command, control and communications. AAIRDUCT will integrate and demonstrate multiple low-cost software enhancements into an autonomous precision aerial dispersion system capable of precisely delivering sensors, unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), munitions, humanitarian aid, and equipment into urban environments to reach isolated personnel. In FY 2018, AAIRDUCT completed the final design of the airdrop Multi-Use Aerial Dispersing System.
