Air Launched Effects Advanced Technology

Abstract

This project develops and demonstrates the ability to launch an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) from a manned or unmanned Future Vertical Lift (FVL) aircraft at tactical altitudes and to control the UAS from the cockpit or a crew station; and assesses the enabled capabilities and determine their relevance to current Army Aviation engagement and survivability portfolios. Work in this Project is fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) PE 0602148A (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. All FY20 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Work in this effort is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command.
