Next Gen Tactical UAS TD Technology
Abstract
This Project utilizes improved computer modeling fidelity to investigate the effects that potential Future Unmanned Aircraft System (FUAS) capabilities could have on air vehicle design considerations and operational concepts. This project improves government capability to design and assess novel Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) concepts. This Project develops and investigates the ability to launch a UAS from a manned or unmanned future vertical lift aircraft at tactical altitudes and to control the UAS from the cockpit or a crew station. This Project will assess the enabled capabilities and determine their relevance to current Army Aviation engagement and survivability portfolios. Work in this Project is fully coordinated with PE 0603465A (Future Vertical Lift Advanced Technology Development). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command.
