Hybrid Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL)/Fixed Wing UAS (Navy)
Abstract
This project comparatively tests off-the-shelf hybrid UAS capable of vertical takeoff and landing as well as fixed wing flight for increased endurance and range over existing UAS in the Navy inventory. Hybrid UAS do not require a runway or launch and recovery equipment and thus may be better suited for shipboard operations. Test articles received, bench testing completed, and comparative testing initiated in FY 2019. Comparative testing continues throughout FY 2020 with FY 2019 funds. PM will make a transition decision and close-out report will be completed in 4Q FY 2020.
