Research abstract
This project describes the technical study, development and demonstration efforts required to improve upon the existing small USV and UAS platforms and incorporate new payload systems. Baseline performance and functional requirements specifically tailored to meet the needs of Navy, USMC and other Government Organizations/Agencies will be used as the design criteria for the project. New developments are anticipated to improve platform performance and reliability as well as increasing levels of capabilities.
