Low-Cost Vertical Take-Off and Landing Precision Strike System (USSOCOM)

Abstract

This project evaluates a small, agile loitering munition that can serve as both an Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) asset and a highly lethal munition, improving operational flexibility and effectiveness. This technology reduces the logistics burden by providing a reusable capability not available with existing loitering munitions. If successful, this technology will transition to USSOCOM's Precision Strike Systems Program of Record for follow-on procurement and fielding.
