Multi-Mission Weaponized Soldier - Unmanned Aerial System (Army)
Abstract
This project evaluates an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) in a 40-millimeter grenade form factor with a modular payload. The system is operated by an individual soldier, has a range of up to 12 kilometers, and can fly for up to 12 minutes. This technology provides non-lethal situational awareness and lethal indirect fire support against enemies in defilade or behind walls. This project enhances DoD capabilities in the Autonomous Systems focus area. If successful, this technology will transition to the Joint Munitions & Lethality Life Cycle Management Command for follow on operational evaluations. This project initiated test planning and contract preparation in FY 2019. Contract was awarded 4Q FY 2020.
