Vantage (trademark) Unmanned Air Vehicle

Abstract

The Vehicle Research Section (VRS) at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, has been developing airborne unmanned air platforms to support electronic warfare (EW) and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions for over 30 years. The Vantage(trademark) unmanned air vehicle (UAV) is one such platform. Here at NRL the goal is to push technology and develop concept vehicles that can be transitioned into industry to better meet the needs of the Armed Forces. NRL conceives and develops designs for the technologically advanced warfare needs of the future.
