Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Payloads
Abstract
SCO will leverage existing low-cost payloads by integrating them with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) (e.g. micro-UAVs) capable of autonomous swarming behavior. This project seeks to demonstrate the operational effectiveness and tactical advantage provided by large numbers of collaborative, expendable platforms. Effectiveness analysis and prototyping of payloads integrated with UAVs will be conducted, with initial demonstrations planned in FY 2016. This project is currently funded within the Advanced Innovative Analysis and Concepts Program Element 0603289D8Z under the Low-Cost Payloads project and will transition to the Advanced Innovative Technologies Program Element 0604250D8Z in FY 2016. Due to the nature of these projects, specific applications and detailed plans are available at a higher classification level.
