Research abstract
Develop a small UAV launched from a wing station or the bomb bay and controlled from P-3 aircraft in direct support of Navy missions and exhibiting 'smart' behaviors. The goal of a `smart' UAV with enough autonomy to enable launch-and-forget behavior requires the tight functional integration of the airframe, airframe control, sensor operations, and exploitation and reasoning. Each of these affects the others in initial design (size, weight, performance) and in operational execution so it is essential that the system be designed as a whole.
