Project Hornet

Abstract

Project Hornet developed and tested an advanced, hand-launched unmanned aerial system (UAS) that can be used by forward-deployed personnel to interdict and disrupt adversary electronic capabilities in contested environments. The UAS platform provides Special Operations Forces (SOF), along with Service and Interagency partners, with a versatile, adaptive capability that can be applied to a diverse range of adversary electronic threats. After a successful demonstration, Project Hornet transitioned to U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), which intends to use flexible acquisition authorities to rapidly transition the capability to the broader SOF community. Further details of this project are classified.
