Abstract

The Autonomous Maritime Patrol Aircraft (AMPA) project provides funding to address capability gaps identified in the 2025 Fleet and COCOM Integrated Priority Lists (IPLs), including a need for persistent Command, Control, and Communications (C3) and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. This ultra-long endurance (ULE) solar-powered unmanned aerial system (UAS) is executing Phase 1 of a Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD). At the culmination of the JCTD, the AMPA demonstration variant of the aircraft is intended to have a 90+ day endurance, up to an 800-pound payload capacity, and enough electrical power available (target goal is 2kW) to simultaneously operate a suite of C3 and ISR payloads.
