Project 18

Abstract

Project 18 directly supports the National Defense Strategy's priority for increased lethality by demonstrating an organic counter unmanned aircraft system (CUAS) capability for use by small units. The project will integrate a novel non-kinetic capability to defeat adversary UAS onto existing operational platforms and experiment with the resulting prototype to inform CONOPS. Additional details are classified. In FY 2018, the preliminary design review was completed resulting in a design for a novel prototype payload. Fabrication and initial effects testing was also completed with FY 2018 funding to support system integration in testing in FY 2019.
