Research abstract
AAC’s Hybrid Advanced Multi-Rotor (HAMR) UAS is the solution is a force multiplier for our airmen to reduce the manning required to secure the perimeter of advanced air bases in combat zones. HAMR provides better Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) quality with a smaller logistical footprint in order to enable company and flight level units to have an organic ISR 3asset. HAMR has longer flight times and endurance compared to current UAS solutions and fills the gap between Group 1 and Group 2 UAS’s. Using HAMR can help replace current battery UAS operations, increasing productive utilization from 3.4hrs to 6hrs in an 8hr workday. HAMR can map 800 acres in 90 minutes, with a total of 1,400 acres or 40-50 miles per flight. HAMR will also provide tremendous cost savings.
