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 initiated test planning and contract preparation in 4Q FY 2019 and continues in FY 2020 with FY 2020 funds.
