Unmanned Logistics System-Air (ULS-A)
Abstract
Previously funded JCTD. ULS-A supports the National Defense Strategy's focus on resilient agile logistics, advanced autonomous systems, and machine learning modernization. ULS-A will demonstrate the utility of unmanned aerial system (UAS) prototypes coupled with autonomous technologies to provide an organic, highly autonomous, aerial distribution capability that increases ground force agility, decreases individual carry loads, and allows the Joint Commanders to have ‘on-call’ control of mission essential and time-critical resupply. In FY 2020, ULS-A continued technical and operational testing on small and medium UASs and began testing of the large unmanned system. As a result of successful flight demonstrations, the USMC and Army have accelerated their acquisition of these vehicles. ULS-A will conduct flight demonstrations utilizing the large UAS configuration in support of live operational demonstrations, culminating in a military utility assessment (MUA).
