Research abstract
During Phase I, feasibility was demonstrated for a prototype wing-store unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to be deployed from a widely fielded weapons launcher system. The proposed Phase II effort integrates a number of candidate electro-optical sensorpayloads to fly and demonstrate their efficacy in terms of system performance and utility for route and battlespace reconnaissance and battle damage assessment missions. A guidance, navigation and control system will be demonstrated to support autonomousdeployment of the wing-store UAV and position the sensor
