Research abstract

SeaLandAire Technologies, Inc. (SLA) proposes to meet this Group 2 need with an electric drive concept that will be capable of a 20-30 lbs. modular payload, with comparable range and endurance to current grp 2 ISR UAS, while still maintaining sufficient ISR capabilities. This UAS concept is able to covertly and safely deliver payload to within 1 meter accuracy, then extract a different payload and be out of sight within 5 minutes. The concept requires no extra setup/launch/landing equipment, making it highly portable. The concepts autopilot, mission control, and CC systems provide simplicity for a single user or multiple concurrent users, while providing real-time data and data/link security.
